Option A is correct because a compound key is made up of several pieces of information. Option B is correct because a compound key uniquely identifies an item in a list. Option C is the correct answer because it includes both Option A and Option B. Option D is incorrect because a compound key is not a combination of each unique key. Option E is incorrect because the answer is Option C.
