THE answer is definitely C! (Hope I helped out)

Answer 2

Answer: C. Compound object.

Explanation: Generally, a sentence is formed with 3 elements:

• Subject: tells who or what it is about;
• Verb: shows what the subject is doing or is;
• Object: object or person, which receives the action of a verb;

Compound is a word for two or more of something.

The combined sentence above uses a compound object, in other words and in this case, two objects that receives the action of the verb: "months of preparation and detailed planning" are two objects that realtes to the verb in past tense "took".
