Passive voice use in this sentence. Verb IIIrd form use only in passive voice.

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.

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