    B

    Explanation:

    A compound sentence is two separate thoughts that are connected by a conjunction.

    So choice B works: "the farmers planted so many crops" and "many were eaten by the pests" are both sentences by themselves, so when you join them with a conjunction like "yet" and appropriate punctuation, it's called a complex sentence.

    Why not A or C: You can't separate those into two distinct sentences. There also is no conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) in either one.
