Correct Answer: in fright


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

The original phrase from frightening is not grammatically correct. In fright is a more appropriate choice to convey that she ran out of her house due to being frightened or scared.  The preposition from is not appropriate in this context. In fright is the correct phrase, as it uses the preposition in to convey the state or condition causing her to run out.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: She ran out of her house in fright.
