A, C, and D are ungrammatical. So, B is the only choice.
I agree with John. The test question is unnatural.
"... went away disappointedly" is actually an error. "They went away feeling disappointed" or "They went away disappointed" are correct. (For details, google resultative adjectives).
Additionally, "all the" and "sold out" are redundant. Most native speakers would say either "all the tickets being sold" or "the tickets being sold out."

All the tickets having been sold out, they went away disappointedly.
The idea of using the present perfect is to show that the tickets were sold out before they walked away, this is a much higher level of grammar than many students normally encounter.
Here you have 'All the tickets having been' as the subject of the verb 'sell out' and when you use another verb as the subject of a verb it is usually in the continuous form. Here they are using the present perfect to show that the tickets were sold out before they walked away.
Hope this helps

it is a bad English test/question.
No selection correctly fits naturally into the sentence.
All the tickets HAVING BEEN sold out, the crowd/customers/ went away feeling disappointed.
