B,C,D Correct answer
Explanation

Options B, C, and D are run-on sentences. B: 'She ran out of the room the shadows in the corner had scared her' contains two independent clauses with no punctuation or conjunction. C: 'I will never drive again it is far too polluting' also joins independent clauses without proper separation. D: 'She always recycles her plastics they are collected thrice a month' is another run-on. Option A is correct, not a run-on because it uses commas properly to separate items in a list.
