You can create some kind of proxy class that extends from C and provides a public accessor:

class ProcyForC extends C {
  public function getLmn() {
    return $this->lmn();
  }
}

echo (new ProxyForC())->getLmn();

You cannot call it as protected means a function that can be called from child classes.

In your case, you need to make an instance of B to call lmn in any class.
