When manner, place and time are given in a sentence, ‘manner’ comes first thereafter ‘place’ followed by ‘time’. But, when only one of them is given, it must come in the end of the sentence.

Since ‘carefully’ is a manner, it should come in the end of the sentence. Therefore only options (b) and (d) are to be considered for their validity. Now, as the given sentence is in the present tense ‘planned’ should be replaced with ‘plan’. Thus, it is clear that only (b) is the correct option.
