I know what they are. I just don't understand which one it is. I think its either b or d, but don't know 4 sure @sammixboo

sammixboo (sammixboo):

It says A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a coordinator. The coordinators are as follows: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. (Helpful hint: The first letter of each of the coordinators spells FANBOYS.) Except for very short sentences, coordinators are always preceded by a comma. ----- So I would guess it would be B.
