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

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.

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

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.

In the afternoon is the answer. It represents the parts of a day, year etc. In monsoon, in winters, in the afternoon etc.
