B) run-on

The sentence is a run-on because it combines two independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunction. To correct it, you could either use a semicolon, period, or conjunction to separate the two independent clauses. For example:

"Cindy's mumbling often gets her in trouble. Just the other day, in fact, her stylist misunderstood Cindy's instructions and dyed her hair blue after Cindy asked him to trim the ends."
