P.S. Since this thread is down quite a bit on the homepage, thread list, can you post the others(if anymore) in another thread? It's so tutors can also help you.

You are correct! Option A, "Strolling in the park on a summer afternoon," is a fragment because it does not contain a subject, or it does not provide enough information to form a complete sentence. In this case, it is unclear who is strolling in the park. To avoid fragments, you can add a subject to make it a complete sentence, such as "They enjoy strolling in the park on a summer afternoon."
