Which of the following selections contains a run-on? If none of the selections contains a run-on, select "Correct."
A. Everyone praised Matthew for his will power.
B. He quit smoking five years ago, he still craves a cigarette from time to time.
C. Addictions are hard to break.
D. Correct

I think the answer could be D. Just because B really isn't a run-on but a comma splice. At least that's what I believe to be true. I think I might be wrong. I'm not sure. Any help is appreciated!

B. is the sentence that contains a run-on sentence. A comma splice is just one kind of run-on.
