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.
