                Only this option makes some sense. The sentence is in simple tense and A and B option are in past perfect and present respectively. So the write one is D option.

I will explain you.
The sentence is in simple present tense. And it was an on going action. So while cleaning should be used.

                While cleaning is correct.
He found the gold coin - Simple past.
He cleans the floor - Simple present.
If you join two clauses there must be parallelism in statement.
So make it 'While Cleaning' which is a phrase.

                1st part of sentence is in past tense. So I think another should also be in the past tense. So answer should A.
Why answer is "while cleaning"?
