c.
run-on sentence, corrected by separating clauses into separate sentences
d.
comma splice, corrected by rearranging and rewording

The correct answer is B. Comma splice, corrected by using a semicolon

Explanation:

In grammar, the comma splice is a common mistake and it occurs when a comma is placed in order to separate two independent sentences which are sentences that express a complete idea, contain a subject and a predicate and do not need another sentence to be complete. This is considered as a punctuation mistake because independent or complete sentences should be separated by using a semicolon (;) instead of a comma. This is the case of sentence 1 "Ladybugs are crafty creatures, when they feel threatened, they pull their legs and antennae under their shells like a turtle" in which the two independent clauses "Ladybugs are crafty creatures" and "when they feel threatened, they pull their legs and antennae under their shells like a turtle" have separated using a comma and not a semicolon, mistake that is corrected in sentence 2. Therefore, the type of error that sentence 1 has and the way is corrected in sentence 2 is "Comma splice, corrected by using a semicolon".
