C Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence is in simple past tense where the action took place once in the past, so simply the 'verb in past tense' is used. 'Run' and 'is running' are in present tense. 'Was running' is used in progressive tense. Here, 'ran' is in past tense, so option 3 is the correct answer.
