There is no passive in here.
Lulu did the breaking of the leash. (active)
The shrub did the catching ... (active)
~~~~~~~~
It's also not a run-on because of "and" in there.
It's not a fragment.
I don't see any shift in person either; all nouns and pronouns are in 3rd person (no "I" or "you" in the sentence).
The only one left is the first answer choice, but I don't know how your text has defined "inappropriate combination of modifier and noun."
