The correct answer is sentence D.

A restrictive clause identifies the word it modifies, which is fundamental to make sense of the meaning. It does not add extra information or used between commas.

In the example sentence, the restrictive clause is "who ran faster," it modifies the noun "the player," and it is essential to understand the which player the person chose.
