Solution

The correct option is C after
It is obvious that the policemen will not 'run with' the culprit or 'for the culprit.' We must distinguish between the words 'behind' and 'after'. When we run right behind something or someone, we use the phrase 'run behind.' But, when we want to imply that we are chasing something in order to catch it, we must use the phrase 'run after.' So, the correct answer is option C) After.
