We use in with morning, afternoon, evening and night, but we use on when we talk about a specific morning, afternoon, etc, or when we describe the part of the day.
So on summer afternoon is correct.

SUBJECT of the sentence must require because at last, they have provided him so the error is in A.

It should be "in the afternoon", as the rule says -
In the morning, at noon, in the afternoon, in the evening, at night, at midnight.

Option A is incorrect because we cannot use the article 'the' before any noun referring to public places like a park.

If no subject is mentioned before 'while', then 'mad dog' will become the subject for the 1st sentence which totally which will change the sense of sentence.
