Sentence should be "They were all shocked at their failure in the competition" "their" should come in place of his because subject is they.

Because last part of sentence is in simple past tense. So the first part be in simple past so two options are in simple past option a is not correct sentence so no correction required.

Is " on failure is not correct"? we generally say that on his success rit. So can we say on his failure?

It is not possible to place had after they so (B, C, D) are out of answer. A is complete itself. So E is correct.

It is in simple past tense. So no need to go for optios b c & d (since they are in past participle). Also the 1st ststement is not proper. Hence no need for correction.
