Why is A incorrect?

Answer

B is the correct answer.

The person (farmer) is walking (wading) in water, when partially immersed in his bare feet.

Answer

"A" is incorrect because the farmer is wading, not his feet.

By the way, your title should be "a grammar question," that is, a question regarding grammar. A "grammatical question" is just a question that is phrased in a grammatically correct way, which yours was, so the title is not technically "wrong," but I'm fairly sure it's not what you meant.  ;)

Answer

I believe that A would be incorrect because wading should be wade in order to make sense.
