Correct answer: B

Q names the subject and opens a phrase with "having", which needs a past form: S "studied the reports,".
Then the committee's verb: P "recommended that the old market". After "recommended that", the verb takes its plain form: R "be rebuilt".
So the order is QSPR: "The committee, having studied the reports, recommended that the old market be rebuilt on the same site."

Worth noting

QPSR makes "the old market" the one that "studied the reports", which it cannot do, and leaves "having" with no verb.
