If the first sentence is in past tense then we also use A option which is past perfect.

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"?
Why answer is "while cleaning"?

Option A means the action had already taken place. But it seems he found the gold during the action. So my answer would be he found the gold while he was cleaning the floor or " as he cleaned the floor" or as he was cleaning the floor".
