Solution
The correct option is A Upon
'Upon' and 'on' both means the same, however 'upon' is generally used in a formal context. Here the sentence expresses that the fall is not intentional however he hit the child. Therefore 'upon' is a more apt choice.
Therefore option A is correct and option B is incorrect. Options C and D do not make the sentence meaningful, therefore incorrect.
