Answer:

A) Afterward.

Explanation:

At the start of the evening, the kids had hot dogs while the adults had chile. Then they all hit the streets to go trick-or-treating with the rest of the town. Afterwards, the parents went through all their candy to make sure it was all appropriate (and to sneak a few favorite pieces for themselves).

In the blank marked [transition] space, the word to be used is afterward, for the sentence that follows is the follow up of the previous sentence. It could happen only after the beginning sentences take place. So it will be wrong to use Before, First eliminate or specifically, for they don't agree with the flow and meaning of the adjoining sentence.
