B. Jane and Liza love books and music.


A compound subject will have two nouns and always be connected by one of four coordinating conjunctions—and, or, neither, nor.  The same thing applies to a compound object.  When looking at the possible options for this question, the possible response that may have confused you is option “A.”  However, even though option “A” has a compound subject, it does not have a compound object.  What may throw you off is the conjunction “and” between “danced” and “sang.”  In this particular option, though, “danced” and “sang” are verbs, and because verbs cannot be objects, we know these two words are not compound objects.

Jane and Liza love books and music

Further Explanation:

A compound subject is two or more individual non-phrases that are coordinated from a single and longer noun phrase. Compound subjects are the reasons that create various kinds of difficulties in the proper usage of the grammatical agreement which takes place between the subject and other entities such as verbs, pronouns, etc. Compound subjects are joined by or, but rules related to it are often ill-defined.

Compound objects include more than one object and also are from a language which has more than one object and all the values are objects, a list which has an association of two values with it and there can be some instances where more than two values are associated to it  and it will seem as qualified compound object. A compound subject has two or more than two simple subjects that share the same verb and are joined by conjunctions.
