B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence requires someone who is upset (distraught) because their plans went wrong (awry). 'Distraught' means very distressed or upset, and 'awry' means wrong or off course. This creates a logical cause-effect relationship. 'Pleased' would not fit with plans going wrong.
