Explanation
A compound sentence has at least two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction or a semicolon. In B, “The sky is cloudy” and “it isn’t raining” are independent clauses joined by “but”; in D, two independent clauses are joined by “or.” E also has two independent clauses, separated by a semicolon. A is one clause, and C has one clause with a compound phrase (“from the bench and from the stands”).
