[A] is a fragment because it is not a complete sentence, the reader is left hanging. (Strolling in the park on a summer afternoon ... is what? enjoyable, maybe?). You need to check your spelling though. I think you mean "trip" not "trop" in B.

(A).
A sentence is a unit that has a subject, a verb, and words to complete the thought. A sentence fragment occurs when you forget one of these parts but still capitalize and punctuate your words as a complete sentence.
