C. You should have another word between tomorrow and she. For example, Karen’s uncle arrives tomorrow and she cant wait to see him. Well thats more than one word!

The run-on is C. B is long, but it’s compound because the two clauses “Mike joined the army” and “He became more disciplined during the training” are joined by the word and, and are both related thoughts. However, C is two clauses that are not joined and are just put together incorrectly. They’re also two different ideas.

c.
it should be 2 sentences—–>>> (Karen’s uncle arrives tomorrow. She wants to see him.)
or a conjunction has to be added, like —->>(Karen’s uncle arrives tomorrow, and she wants to see him.)
