A.

Wait I want a medal. The answer is A because it puts no pauses between the combination of those two subjects.

It's D, because it does not correct the run on. It just stuck a comma in there to give it a random pause, but it is not grammatically correct, nor does it break up the run-on. It would need a "but" or "and" to make sense. More info…. A- It made the run on two separate thoughts with a period. This gives each statement clarity and a pause in between. B- It fixed the run on by separating the two thoughts with a "comma but", making it a compound sentence. C- Using a semicolon essentially makes it two different sentences, without an actual period. This shows that the two statements are connected, without making it a run on. This turns it into a complex sentence. Hope this explains everything:)
