D. Gabrielle found the kitten asleep in a gardening pot and moved the pot onto the porch for protection.
E. Gabrielle found the kitten asleep in a gardening pot, so she moved the pot onto the porch for protection.

Both D and E are correct. They both combine two simple sentences into a compound sentence using coordinating conjunctions. A compound sentence is two simple sentences, or independent clauses, connected with a conjunction.

Explanation:

The correct answer is D and E. A compound sentence is made up of two simple sentences, also known as independent clauses, connected with a coordinating conjunction like 'and', 'but', 'so', etc. In this case, the two simple sentences are 'Gabrielle found the kitten asleep in a gardening pot' and 'she moved the pot onto the porch for protection'. Both D and E combine these two sentences correctly into one compound sentence using the coordinating conjunctions 'and' and 'so' respectively.
