Answer:

B. The game will be called if the storm continues, the weather is dangerous.

Explanation:

A run-on sentence is a sentence consisting of two or more independent clauses (group of words having a subject and a verb and that expresses a complete thought) that are not separated by a period, semicolon or joined by a conjunction ( E.g. and, for, but, yet, in adittion) and that, instead, are connected improperly with a comma or without any type of punctuation.

Sentence B is an example of a run-on sentence because both independent clauses (The game will be called if the storm continues and the weather is dangerous) are improperly separated by a comma when they should be separated by a period or a semicolon instead.
Answer 2
