They ran __________ the thief.
Answer: A
The preposition is after: They ran after the thief.
Run after means to chase or pursue someone in order to catch them, which is what people do to a thief.
Behind would only describe their position, running at the back of him, without the sense of chasing. Run about means to move here and there, and run for means to hurry to reach something (run for the bus) or to stand for an office.
Phrasal verbs with run change meaning with the particle: run into (meet by chance), run out of (have no more), run over (knock down with a vehicle).
