Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Choice D is a run-on sentence because it combines two independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunctions. The first clause, "Vote for Pedro," stands alone as a complete sentence, while the second clause, "he will represent you well," also stands alone as a complete sentence. However, there is no punctuation or conjunction to connect the two clauses or to separate them into two separate sentences.
