A sentence becomes a run-on sentence when it is composed of two or more clauses which are not separated by an appropriate punctuation or conjunction. From the given sentences above, the sentence that is a run-on sentence is option A. Most beetles can fly some beetles can't. This sentence contains two clauses and should be separated by a semi-colon. Most beetles can fly; some beetles can't.
