a. it has two sets of subject and verb pairs.
b. it may contain a comma and a conjunction or a semicolon.
c. it is one simple sentence that has a compound subject and a compound verb.
d. it is made of two simple sentences.

(A) is not the right answer because a compound sentence contains two sets of subject and verb pairs. A compound sentence is basically two simple sentences that are "compounded". (B) is not the right answer because a compound sentence can contain a comma and a conjunction or a semicolon.
