Not an expert but let me try this.

A puts "for his attempt at a solo transatlantic flight", inside the commmas, thereby making the information non essential , i think the phrase in the the commas is essential to the meaning of the sentence.

Does not A qualify for being a "run-on" sentence ?

"Charles Lindbergh,..., was very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane, he therefore...."

Its run-on sentence. Two independent clauses need 'comma+fanboys' not 'therefore

A. Charles Lindbergh, for his attempt at a solo transatlantic flight, was very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane, he therefore - "was very reluctant to" should modifying C.L, it should be as close as possible to C.L.

B. When Charles Lindbergh was attempting his solo transatlantic flight, being very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane, he

C. Since he was very reluctant to carry any extra weight on his plane when he was attempting his solo transatlantic flight, so Charles Lindbergh - I believe when we use 'since' we should provide a time frame which is not mentioned here! Ex: Since 1980... (please correct me if I am wrong)

D. Being very reluctant to carry any extra weight on his plane when he attempted his solo transatlantic flight was the reason that Charles Lindbergh

E. Very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane when he attempted his solo transatlantic flight, Charles Lindbergh - Correct because: 1) modifier is correctly modifying C.L 2) more concise than all the other options.
