It's B!
A compound subject occurs when there are two or more nouns perform an action onto something else.
A - the Beatles and Rolling Stones
C - Jocelyn and the other girls
D - Kevin and Zachary (who are both NOT answering the question )

B has two verbs, but not two subjects. Instead, the "I", one subject, performed two actions.

I hope it helps!
