Ok. Theories for which one of Ariel's sisters could be Arabella's mother (completely disregarding Ariel's Beginning):

Aquata can already be ruled out, she appears briefly in Escape from the Isle of the Lost, but not once does she mention having a daughter who attends Auradon. if she were Arabella's mother, I'm pretty sure she would've have addressed it or asked Ben how Arabella was doing.

Andrina could be a possibility, since her main color is lavender, which Arabella also sports. But there's really not much beyond that. Besides, Alana also wears this color.

Arista is arguably the most iconic daughter of Triton after Ariel. Since the 1999 TV series got her some popularity, it would be easy for the writers to give a descendant to the most recognizable sister. In a TLM children's book series that came out in the 90's, Arista dated a merman named Dylan. So she could easily have had Arabella with him.

Attina is...highly unlikely. Pretty much like Aquata. There is absolutely nothing that hints at her being Arabella's mother; appearance, name, nothing. So yeah, Attina is hardly Arabella's mom.

Adella does actually make a pretty good canditate. Since she is the most romantic and boy-crazy out of her sisters, it would be much easier to think that she had a relationship with a merman (if not many) and conceived Arabella. Both their names end in "-ella", and we know that the Descendants characters tend to have a similar name to that of their parents (except Jane). Not to mention both of them are interested in fashion.

Alana being Arabella's mother is not that far-fetched, either. Aside from sharing a color scheme, their connection could be following a pattern. In The Little Mermaid 2, Ariel, the youngest of the sisters, has a daughter: Melody. So it would make sense for Alana, the second-youngest, to be the mother of Arabella.
