Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

This is because the sentence suggests that Faruk was subject to an action (being pushed) while running the marathon, and this is best expressed in the passive form in the past continuous tense.

So, the sentence would read:
"Faruk was pushed down while running the marathon."
