To start of, a compound sentence is a combination of two independent clauses that is connected with a comma or a semicolon followed by coordinating conjunctions. (Ex: and, but, or, for, nor, and yet)

If you are not familiar with independent clauses, it basically includes a subject and a verb that creates a complete thought.

Therefore, the sentence that is considered a compound sentence is letter A.
