This question is missing the option. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Strolling through the city park late at night, we saw several young couples walking their dogs, as well as a whole bunch of squirrels scurrying about seeking nuts.

Choose the selection in which the sentence is properly punctuated.

a) NO CHANGE

b) Strolling through the city park late at night, we saw several young couples walking their dogs as well as a whole bunch of squirrels scurrying about seeking nuts.

c) Strolling through the city park late at night, we saw several young couples, walking their dogs as well as a whole bunch of squirrels scurrying about seeking nuts.

d) Strolling through the city park late at night we saw several young couples walking their dogs as well as a whole bunch of squirrels scurrying about seeking nuts.

The correct option is a) NO CHANGE.

Explanation:

The sentence is properly punctuated the way it is, so there is no need to change it. The sentence starts with a participial phrase, which must be followed by a comma. Then, we have the main clause. Notice that the verb in the main clause has two direct objects: "several young couples walking their dogs" and "a whole bunch of squirrels scurrying about seeking nuts". Since those two objects are very long, it is appropriate to place a comma before the adverb introducing the second object - "as well as." That will avoid problems in reading and interpreting what words belong to each object. Therefore, the sentence does not need any changes in punctuation.
