i have it down to A and D, and will choose D.

I dont think 'he had' is needed in this sentence; 'he ran' is fine because it is the only action in the sentence and therefore the past perfect is unecessary.

Thats correct.
OA is D.

What wrong with C?
I think "when" in D indicates a progress, for example: when I came, she was doing something. So I choose C
