The correct answer is A.

A compound predicate is "two or more verbs or verb phrases that share the same subject and are joined by a conjunction."

Option A has one subject -she- performing two actions: washing and drying the shells.

Options B and C have two subjets: he and she; and option D has only one action followed by an adverbial.
