The sentence that does not correct the run-on sentence is D. The Great Lakes are five freshwater lakes, Lake Superior is the largest of them.

It does not correct the run-on sentence because it used comma instead of semi-colon. Given that it used comma, the comma must be followed by a coordinating conjuntion.

a) coordinating junction preceded by a comma
b) two sentences
c) semi colon
