Explanation:

Compound predicates are the ones in which two or more verbs have a common subject. In other words, a compound predicate is formed when in a sentence two or more actions are shared or done by the same subject and these two verbs are connected by a conjunction.

From the given options, the sentence that contains a compound predicate is in the option B.
