a) advised that they not ought to play --> The correct idiom usage is ought not to. Hence, incorrect
b) was advising that they ought to not play --> It means she was referring to and advising at the same time. Ideally, she referred to that to advise something.
c) advised they might not ought to play --> that is missing that and might is not required here.
d) said advisably that they ought not playing --> Lol, funny way to say said advisably. We can directly use advised. + Ought to is the correct idiom
e) advised that they ought not to play

This question has been changed(ought to dropped) to following as per GMAT club grammar book:
Referring to the dangerous cliffs that were located near to the back of their new home, the boys’ mother advised that they not play close to them.
a) advised that they not play
b) was advising that they not play
c) advised they might not play
d) said advisably that they not playing
e) advised that they not to play
Correct option is indicated as E.
Still I feel , this question has not been framed properly. Verb "advise" shall be followed by infinitive, isn't it?
Also can "they" refer boys as boys' mother is antecedent? Some one throw some light on this question.
