Explanation
A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction. In C, “Graphics are popular” and “design is difficult to master” can each stand alone; in D, “Lessons improve skill” and “I take several classes each month” can stand alone; and in E, “Pottery sounds interesting” and “I’m not sure I can handle the mess” can stand alone. The other sentences are simple or complex, not compound.
