Do you have any ideas on what it might be? Try reading the sentences out loud to see which ones don't flow or sound correctly.

That's okay! The definition of a compound subject is "a type of subject where two or more individual noun phrases are coordinated to form a single, larger noun phrase". 

In the first one, the subjects are plural and do not agree with the singular "is". The same applies to the third and fourth one (seem instead of seems, have instead of has). The correct answer would be B.
