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.

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.
