Answer:

C. The Senate and the House of Representatives are part of the legislative branch.

Explanation:

A compound subject is when there are two or more subjects in a sentence. "The Senate" and "the House of Representatives" are both nouns and they are the ones being discussed in the sentence, thus, they are the subject.

When there is a compound subject, the individual subjects are joined by a comma or by a coordinating conjunction like or, nor, and or neither.
