Why [a] option can't be used as it is?

Because it then sounds as if the reader of this sentence is walking in the park.

Subject in the sentence is missing.
We cannot judge whether it is "he/or she" and question has "mad dog attacked HIM from behind".

Can we write it as:
While 'THEY WERE' walking'/STROLLING' slowly in the park on a quiet summer afternoon a mad dog suddenly attacked him from behind.

We can judge he/she aziz, because in the sentence him is their so him is used for he not she.
And they also not used because him is singular.
And they also not used because him is singular.

But can anyone explain why we are adding he I the answer even though the subject is mentioned in the sentence at the end. And even when we make passive voice of this sentence all we get I a perfect answer.
