C
His amazing visit to the Great Wall of China on Friday, Mark told us about it.
D
The sentence is correct as written.

Explanation

The phrase “on Friday” tells when Mark told the class about his visit, so it should be placed at the beginning of the sentence to make that meaning clear. “On Friday, Mark told us about his amazing visit to the Great Wall of China” is clear and natural. Choice A could make it sound as though the visit itself happened on Friday.
