The right option is C.
"Don wore braces on both of his legs; still, he was an avid runner".
In this sentence, "still" indicates a sort of surprise. It is placed between a semicolon and a comma because it functions as a transition word.
Transition words show the relationship between sentences and help the text to be cohesive. Some examples of transition words are "nevertheless", "however", and "even though" among others.
First of all, you need to know what a trochee is. It is a metrical foot which consists of two syllables - the first one is stressed, and the second one is unstressed.

C. when the base word ends with two consonants
D. when the base word ends with consonant + vowel + consonant and the suffix begins with a vowel
Answer:
D. when the base word ends with consonant + vowel + consonant and the suffix begins with a vowel
Explanation:
If you study English, you have heard of words ending in "consonant + vowel + consonant" (or CVC). These endings have a simple half rule: when the suffix begins with a vowel, the last consonant of the base word must be duplicated. Example: The base word is "stop" and the word "ed", when you add the base word with the suffix, the last letter "p" of the base word must be duplicated, becoming "stopped".
