A compound sentence is one that contains at least two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (such as "and," "but," "or," "nor," "for," "so," or "yet").
In this case, the first option fits that definition:
**AJ worked hard on his science fair project, yet he did not finish first.**
This sentence has two independent clauses: "AJ worked hard on his science fair project" and "he did not finish first," connected by the conjunction "yet."
The other sentences either contain a single independent clause or a dependent clause.
