b. Open spaces, opportunity, and independence appealed to many.
c. The opportunities for open spaces appealed to many.
d. The open spaces appealed to many, and the opportunities for independence did too.

Answer 1

A. The open spaces and opportunities for independence appealed to many is the sentence that combines these two subjects into one compound subject.

Answer 2

The sentence which uses a compound subject to combine the two sentences is the open spaces and opportunities for independence appealed to many.

the sentence contains two compound subjects, 'the open space' and ' opportunities' which joined by the conjunction 'and.'

The subject in a  sentence is the doer of the action, defined as a noun or pronoun. Hence, when a sentence has two or more subjects it is referred as a compound subject.
