Solution

The correct option is A adverb
The underlined word 'very' stresses on the speed of the runner in a high degree, thus, it is an adverb of degree. Adverbs of degree indicate the intensity or degree of an action, an adjective or another adverb. and are usually placed before the adjective, adverb, or verb they modify.
