B Correct answer
Explanation

In formal notices, when referring to students being given instructions, we use the passive voice 'are advised' rather than 'have advised'. The correct structure is 'Interested students are advised to submit their names.' 'Have been advised' uses an incorrect tense, 'advised' lacks the necessary helping verb, and 'will be advised' suggests future advice rather than current instruction.
