The non-finites in the sentence "I have run and running is a good way to stay healthy." are:

- Participle: "running"
- Gerund: "running"
- Infinitive: "to stay"

Explanation:
- Participles function as adjectives. Here, "running" can act as a participle.
- Gerunds function as nouns. "Running" here describes an activity.
- Infinitives are the "to" form of a verb used as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. "To stay" is an infinitive.

Thus, the correct answer is C: Participle, gerund, and infinitive.

Remember, the non-finite infinitive is formed by placing 'to' before the base verb. In option A 'to' is missing. In options B and C the base verb changes form. Remember, an infinitive is the simplest form of the verb as it is exactly the same as the base verb and is usually preceded by 'to.' In a sentence, the infinitive always comes with a main verb.

Remember, the non-finite participle is formed by adding ‘-ing’, ‘-d, ‘-ed, ‘-en, ‘-t or ‘-n’ to the base verb (worry-worried). In the other options the verbs are the wrong form for a participle.
