Solution

The correct option is B After he recommended me to several directors, he also gave me some advice on acting.
Compound sentence joins two or more independent clauses with a coordinator such as for, an, or, but or a semi-colon. The given sentence is an example of a compound sentence which can be converted into one simple sentence.
Options A and B are grammatically wrong. Option C is incomplete. Thus, option D is the correct answer as 'after' and 'comma' are correctly used.
