C Correct answer
Explanation

To elope means to run away secretly to get married, especially without parental consent. The word perfectly captures the scenario described. 'Chase' means to pursue but doesn't imply marriage. 'Shabby' means worn or decayed, completely unrelated. 'Abscond' means to escape hurriedly or secretly but doesn't specifically indicate marriage.
