Solution

The correct option is A We met a man who was carrying a load of wood.
Since the two sentences have a common subject, to combine them, a relative pronoun is used. Therefore Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not refer to the common subject, do not use a relative pronoun or use the wrong sequence of events, hence these are incorrect.
