ANSWER

NOTE: As the sentence indicates time 'when', we can understand that - when an action was happening in the past, another action took place. Hence, we will use past continuous for the first clause and simple past for the second clause.

Option A - 'Was walking, was finding' are both used to represent past continuous tense. As we need simple past tense for the second clause, we can't use 'was finding' here. Thus option A is incorrect.

Option C - 'Walked, found' are both used to represent the sentence in the simple past tense. As we need the first clause to be in the past continuous tense, we can't use 'walked' here. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option B - 'Was walking' explains that the action in the first action was continuing (past continuous tense) while the second happened. 'Found' explains that the action was completed (simple past tense). Thus option B is the correct answer.
