C Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence has three errors: (1) 'jack' should be capitalized as a proper noun; (2) 'runned' is incorrect - the past tense of 'run' is 'ran'; (3) 'finish' should be capitalized as part of the finish line name. Subject-verb agreement is fine (jack ran), just these mechanical and tense errors.
