I can choose option C as it accepts the rule HAD BEEN+V1ing form.

Why not option C?

Had been + V1+ing is used as far as I know so C option should be right.

To find error here, in sentence "felt humiliated" is the case of passive voice, so it is followed by "had been" rather than only "had".

Given sentence is not correct because :-.
You feel humiliated by somebody : Now if they had been caught cheating then they would have been humiliated. They cannot feel humiliated because they have realized that they cheated.
However if somebody cheats them, then they can feel humiliated by that person. Hence [B] is correct.

Why can't we take A as correct answer? because 'they' is used as plural.

"HUMILIATE" is to make someone feel ashamed or lose their respect for themselves. This generally happens when we realize that we have done wrong by cheating someone. But if we are cheated by some one else we don't feel humiliated or ashamed. But we feel bad or we feel that we are fools for having believing someone.
