Which of the following sentences contains a comma splice?

A The sun set quickly, casting long shadows across the field.
B She decided to go for a run, however, it started raining.
C Running quickly, the child reached the finish line first.
D He loved to read classic novels, especially during long train rides.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are joined by only a comma. 'She decided to go for a run' and 'it started raining' are both independent clauses, incorrectly linked by a comma before 'however'.
