The correct sentence that fixes the run-on is option A: "That was quite a traffic jam; many drivers honked their horns, and one car blocked the intersection." This is because the sentence uses a semicolon to correctly join two independent clauses and a comma followed by the conjunction "and" to join the last independent clause.
