I think the sentence clearly wants to convey the meaning that the gross sales were more than the expected revenue. With this in mind Option A, Option C and Option E are out

Now we need to verb and not an adverb to maintain parallelism with the two parts that are compared i.e. "gross sales were" and "expected revenues (were)"

Only option B fits in. Hence B is the correct choice

E. as many as their expectedly


Excepted doesn't make sense so C is out


Expectedly is wrong here as we don't have any verb/noun to which this adverb can modify

So D and E are out

As many as is not correct here as it means somehow same
Whereas intent of sentence is sales more than expected revenues

So B is correct

Give kudos if it helps

The one thing is bothering me that NO ONE mentioned that SolarTech is it, not they

Yes, it's true pronoun "their" cannot refer to Solar tech. Should be " ..more than it's expected revenue "
