A. doesn't fix it. It just adds a comma splice. But the thoughts are not made clear, and are still hard to understand.

You can fix a run-on by adding a semi-colon in the two independent sentences, like in d, separating the sentences to two individual sentences, like in c, and you can add a comma and coordinating conjunction like in b. Know this and you should be able to master run-on sentences.
