Driving down the road

Explanation

The correct use of introductory clauses is to avoid a "dangling modifier." The introductory phrase must logically refer to the subject of the main clause (in this case, 'I'). Option (খ) is a complete subordinate clause that clearly states who was driving. Options (ক) and (ঘ) are ambiguous because it's not clear who is "driving down the road"—it could incorrectly imply the deer was driving.
