Explanation:

A compound event consists of two or more simple events occurring together. Options A and D are single simple events (only coin flip result or only spinner result). Options B and C combine a coin flip outcome with a spinner outcome, making them compound events. Option E has no stated event, so it is not applicable.

Answer:

B. The coin lands heads up, and the pointer lands on red.
C. The coin lands tails up, and the pointer lands on green.
