The correct answer is A. Compound object
Explanation:
In grammar, the object refers to the entity that is being affected by the subject (agent of the action) and the main action or verb. This means the object is the entity being acted upon and usually placed after the main action or verb. Additionally, a sentence with a compound object is one that contains two or more objects usually linked by coordinating conjunctions such as "like", "and", "or" and "neither". 
In the case of the sentence "Mrs. Khan likes baseball and softball" the subject or agent that performs the action is "Mrs. Khan" the main action is "likes" and the object or entity being acted upon is "baseball and softball" which is composed by two objects or ideas separated by the coordinating conjunction "and". Considering the object of this sentence is composed of two ideas it can be concluded the object "baseball and softball" is compound. Therefore, the type of compound the sentence "Mrs. Khan likes baseball and softball" contains is a compound object.

A simile is a kind of figurative language used to compare two objects or ideas using the terms "like" or "as". It is used to exaggerate the meaning or to bring a certain point across about the object. In your example, "when I began reading a book it was like a bowl of letter soup, " it compares when you first started reading to a bowl of letter soup which emphasizes how first learning to read is a bit confusing since all you seem to see is a bunch of jumbled letters.
