Solution

The correct options are
A Being very scared, I ran as fast as I could. I thought I had seen a ghost.
C Being very scared, I ran as fast as I could. Had I seen a ghost?
The correct answers are Option B and Option C.
In here, the fact that the writer was scared has been emphasized and the events have been arranged in a proper order, thus not changing the meaning of the sentence. The verb agrees to the subject appropriately.
Options A and D are incorrect as the sentences do not have the same meaning as given in the context and the order of the events are also not appropriate.
