B Having run all morning, the tired runner welcomed the sight of the finish line.
C The finish line, having run all morning, was a welcome sight for the tired runner.
D For the tired runner, the finish line was a welcome sight, having run all morning.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

The original sentence suffers from a dangling modifier; it implies the finish line ran all morning. Option B correctly places the modifier 'Having run all morning' next to the noun it describes, 'the tired runner,' making the sentence clear and logical.
