C. The superintendent realized that her secretary was not only loyal but also efficient all her work was perfect.

Explanation:

A run on sentence, is a sentence where two or more independent clauses are not joined correctly. You can see that the two independent clauses here, are

The superintendent realized that her secretary was not only loyal, but efficient.
