1. You don't "play" a kite, you
fly a kite.
2. Out of the choices given the only sensible choice is "on a windy day".
3.
They were flying a kite on a windy day.
Playing with a kite on a windy day is suitable.
but for preference flying a kite

If I saw my son playing with a kite on a windy day, I'd say, "Don't play with it,
fly the damn thing!"
