Actually @vertika and others. Its not necessary that we change the option A.
We can also change option C.
"a mad dog suddenly attacked from behind" or "a mad dog suddenly attacked from me behind"
According to what I have read, The sentence should follow how its started. So we can change the rest of the sentence based on the first sentence.
Tell me if am wrong.

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.

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.
So on summer afternoon is correct.

Walking is a good exercise. Here subject is walking. Similarly in the given question subject is walking. There is no use to add another subject he. So can anyone explain it?

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.

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

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.
In the morning, at noon, in the afternoon, in the evening, at night, at midnight.

Shouldn't we write "While he was walking slowly in the park in a quiet summer afternoon a mad dog suddenly attacked him from behind"?
