A fused sentence is a type of run-on sentence where two independent clauses are incorrectly joined without appropriate punctuation or conjunction. Among the options provided, the fused sentence is:
B. The countryside has really changed; it looks more like a city now.
This sentence contains two independent clauses ("The countryside has really changed" and "it looks more like a city now") that are joined together without proper punctuation or a coordinating conjunction, resulting in a fused sentence.
