b) they had not only cold and tired but also much hunger
c) they were not only cold and tired but also hungry
d) because they had been cold and tired, they also had hungry
e) they were cold and tired in the event that they were hungry too
From the GMAT Club Grammar book:
"Therefore" is an adverb, so there is no conjunction between the two clauses (i.e. a Run-On problem) in the correct answer. Therefore, why is the official answer correct?

Words such as - however, therefore,moreover,etc are known as adverbial conjunctions or conjunctive adverbs.
They can be used to join a Main clause (independent clause) with a Subordinate clause (dependent clause). Such as the case in this sentence.
In the past there has been a debate about the use of such adverbial conjunctions with few grammatical purist saying that coordinating conjunctions such as 'so' should be used to join two clauses instead. But GMAT ( sentences in OG) allows the use of therefore, however etc. Hence it is the OA.
Hope this helps.
