If you know the answer is not two, it must be B. One. Technically, there is only one sentence, which is a compound sentence. Usually, a compound sentence is basically two sentences combined using a comma and a coordinating conjunction - - in this case, 'and.' However, the question stating "if it were read aloud" seems odd. Maybe it's implying that someone may spererate them in speech, which means the answer would be C. Two, but you said you know that's not the answer. So, the answer must be B. One.
