Solution

The correct option is B blue-eyed
A compound adjective is formed when two or more adjectives are joined together to modify the same noun. These terms should be hyphenated to avoid confusion or ambiguity.
Option A: Is a noun, subject in the sentence.
Option B: Is the compound adjective. The second part of the compound adjective is frequently a present or past participle. Two different adjectives are used to define the girl
Option C: Spain is again a noun
Option D:famous is a regular adjective, not a compound adjective
Option B is correct.
