B Correct answer
Explanation

When someone runs in relation to a road, 'across' indicates movement from one side to the other. 'Into' would suggest entering the road itself, 'towards' indicates direction but not crossing, and 'on' would mean running on top of the road surface. The context implies crossing the road, making 'across' the correct choice.
