A compound sentence is defined as **two or more independent clauses** joined by a conjunction (and often a comma). Therefore, the correct feature that makes up a compound sentence from your list is:
**two or more independent clauses joined with conjunction and a comma.**
In contrast, an independent and dependent clause forms a complex sentence, while a combination of independent clauses with dependent clauses results in a compound-complex sentence. A subject and a verb are basic components of any sentence, but they do not specifically define a compound sentence.
