B Correct answer
Explanation

'Run over' is the specific phrasal verb meaning to hit something with a vehicle. 'Run out' means to exhaust a supply, 'run into' means to collide with or encounter, and 'run for' means to compete for office or run towards something. The passive voice 'has been run over' correctly describes the dog being hit.
