The boy running past the house suddenly stopped.

Объяснение:

В этом предложении сказуемое - глагол stopped, а после подлежащего по смыслу из преложенных вариантов подходит только причастие running, которое, следуя за определяемым существительным вместе с относящимися к нему словами, образует определительный причастный оборот.

The boy running past the house suddenly stopped. — Мальчик, (какой?) бегущий мимо дома, вдруг остановился.

Примечание: в отличие от русского, в английском языке определительные причастные обороты обычно НЕ выделяются запятыми.

Being running и who having run -  таких форм/конструкций не существует.

Was running не подходит, так как у нас уже есть сказуемое в предложении.
