My doctor knew that I would eventually recover and do the kind of work I would be doing before.
Answer: A
Correct answer: had been doing
The sentence looks back from a past viewpoint (my doctor knew) to work carried on over a stretch of time even earlier - the period before the illness. That earlier-than-past, continuing sense is exactly what the past perfect continuous expresses.
So: …do the kind of work I had been doing before. Would be doing points forward instead of back, and had been done is passive, which cannot take I as its doer.
