The correct answer is the first option - In 1783, the US Congress ratified a preliminary peace treaty, the US and Britain signed the Treaty of Paris, British troops left New York City, and George Washington resigned as commander.

There are too many sentences here, and too few conjunctions such as AND/OR, etc. to connect these parts of the entire sentence. A run-on sentence is one that doesn't use appropriate connectors to make the sentence sound more natural or grammatically correct.
