Not quite! In the sentence "These clocks often run on batteries," the word "run" is the main verb, while the word "on" is a preposition indicating a location. "On batteries" is a prepositional phrase that functions as an adverbial phrase modifying the verb "run." So the correct answer would be A. Main verb.
