The first one is right.
Yes, the second one is a compound verb, but -- these questions are all about subjects and predicates -- so go and look is the compound predicate.

Umm, okay. I just think it is D- none of the above, because I have the same question on a previous test, and the answer was compound verb and I got it correct, so I just figured the answer was none of the above.
