I believe your answer would be a compound sentence.
This is because this sentence combines two separate ideas into one by the use of a comma.
Hope this helps! Good luck! :))
Answer is A. Therefore
B could imply that only one event occurred rather than two events of the cause and effect.
C could imply that it was all one event rather than two events of the cause and effect
D could imply the two events caused by cause and effect are unrelated and not linked
nobody's would be the correct answer i believe. not 100% sure tho.
