Answer:

B.

Explanation: This sentence has no punctuation marks (such as commas, sentences, periods, or semi-colons) to separate it. Therefore, it is a run-on sentence.

Another thing that may help you find a run-on sentence is to say it out loud. When saying these sentences out loud, you may notice that Answer B is one long sentence, with no pauses in between, unlike the other answers.
