The correct answer is D. Two independent clauses.

Explanation:

In grammar, sentences can be simple, compound, complex or compound-complex. In the case of compound sentences, these are sentences that contain two or more independent clauses (clauses that express a complete idea) usually link by a semicolon (;) or one of the coordinating conjunctions (for, but, and, so, or, nor, yet). This occurs in the sentence presented because this contains two independent clauses "The team won the majority of the regular season games" and "they were optimistic about a victorious post-season" joined by the coordinating conjunction "so". Thus, this sentence is compound because it contains two independent clauses.

in general, fiction refers to plot, settings, and characters created from the imagination, while nonfiction refers to factual stories focused on actual events and people. however, the difference between these two genres is sometimes blurred, as the two often intersect.
