What is the right choice?

They had been painting the house and by 10 they still..............................

a- finished b- hadn't finished c- haven't finished d- finishing

In my view point the right choice isn't any of these four choice as the best choice should be 'didn't finish'.

This is what I think, please help me find the most suitable choice of the four given choice.
