    Explanation:

    - Option 1: While he was running

    - This part is in past continuous tense, which is appropriate for describing an ongoing action in the past.

    - Option 2: Along the garden path

    - Describes the location where the running took place. The preposition "along" is correctly used here.

    - Option 3: He has tripped

    - THIS IS THE ERROR.

    - The present perfect tense "has tripped" is incorrectly mixed with the past continuous tense earlier. It should be "he tripped" to maintain consistency in past tense.

    - Corrected: he tripped

    - Option 4: Over a big stone

    - The phrase is correctly structured to describe what caused him to trip.
