Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

The phrase "scarcely had [subject] [past participle] when [event]" is a common grammatical structure used to indicate that one event happened immediately after another. 

In this sentence, "Scarcely had I opened the door when the dog came running in," the word "scarcely" implies that hardly any time passed between opening the door and the dog running in. The correct conjunction to use in this structure is "when."
