Explanation:

To correct a run - on sentence, we can use a semicolon to separate two independent clauses (complete thoughts) when they are related. The first option uses a semicolon between “Rajeet opened the window” and “he loved the smell of the rainstorm”, which are two independent clauses. The colon in the second option is incorrect here as it's not used to connect these two independent clauses. The third option has incorrect punctuation and word order. The fourth option is a comma splice, which is also incorrect for connecting two independent clauses.

Answer:

A. Rajeet opened the window; he loved the smell of the rainstorm.
