Option 1 (It describes the days being discussed) is correct since it refers to a particular set of days, those in which the subject of the sentence goes jogging, and a particular moment of the day which is the morning.
Option 3 (It creates a compound-complex sentence) is correct because the sentence contains two independent clauses and a dependent clause.
The two independent clauses are: "<em>My mind seems to process ideas faster</em>" and "<em>My mood is more positive</em>". These two independent clauses are joined by the coordinating conjunction "<em>and</em>". The compound-complex sentence also includes a dependent clause "<em>On days when I go jogging in the morning</em>" which is dependent on the two main independent clauses previously mentioned.
The following sentence is written correctly:
B. The drum major performed badly because she forgot the routine.
<u>Why not A, C or D?</u>
A. The team played <u>good</u> in their championship game so they won. The word<em> good</em> should be replaced with the word<em> well</em>. An adverb describes a verb, the word well would describe how they played. Good is an adjective that describes a noun.
C. Ivan feels<u> well</u> about his choice to join the after-school program. The word <em>well</em> should be replaced with the word <em>good.</em> Whenever, one says someone is feeling well it refers to their health.
D. The gymnast felt<u> badly</u> because they had skipped breakfast. The word <em>badlly</em> should be replaced with the word <em>bad</em>.

Answer:
C. Add a period after fossil
Explanation:
The reader can easily deduce that this is a run-on sentence.
"Look at this fossil," Is a full stop on itself, and the thought can end there.
The next phrase can be continued in a separate sentence by itself.
Many people seem to be confused as to why the answer isn't B, and I'll gladly explain why!
The sentence goes, "Look at this fossil I bought it at the gift shop.."
"It," causes the sentence to become a run-on, and therefore isn't grammatically correct.
However, if the sentence said, "Look at this fossil I bought at the gift shop," then it would have no need to be changed, as it is a full sentence in itself with no run-on.
Another thing to note is that some of you may be thinking, "But (insert grammar checker) said it was fine by itself!"
I'm sorry to break it to you, <em>but a grammar checker doesn't have 100% guaranteed results. </em>Many grammar checkers do not possess the ability to catch run-on sentences and are not a credible source of information.
I hope this clears things up!
