Remember a simple rule. If the verb seems a kind of work which doesn't end up certainly then it should carry progressive or else perfect.
i.e. Progressive verbs - had laughed is incorrect instead of were laughing.

Here they delighted by some one so it should be passive.
If we go with past perfect it means that they completed delighting some one.
So option B is correct.

Answer B is correct because helping verb is in past tense. Hence the doing verb must be in past tense.
