In standard written English, which sentence is correct?

AHe runs faster than me.
BHe runs faster than I.
CHe runs more faster than I.
DHe runs fastest than I.
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. He runs faster than I.
The comparison is elliptical: "He runs faster than I" means "He runs faster than I do." So the subject pronoun "I" is preferred in standard formal usage. The other options use an objective pronoun or incorrect comparative forms.
