No sooner means the sentence actually means when he opened the door suddenly or in some quick session after he opened the door.

It the rule that "No sooner" always followed by "than".

Here no sooner is in 1st sentence but than is in other if no sooner will flow than then it must be in one sentence.

I am confused here, should it not be then instead of than? If not then please explain.

What is the right answer?

It is just a structure which should not be changed:
No sooner did X happened than Y happened.
No sooner had X happened than Y happened.
So "than" is necessary.
No sooner did X happened than Y happened.
No sooner had X happened than Y happened.
So "than" is necessary.

The statement is a past tense, i.e. Rushed in. Then open must be replaced with opened. So the answer should be option A.
