Solution

The correct option is B Food
A compound word is formed when two words are used together to form a new meaning.
Option B: 'Fast' forms a word with 'food' to form a compound word 'fast food'.
'Fast food' is 'a type of mass-produced food that is sold for commercial purposes'.
Options A, C and D: 'Fast' does not form any compound words with 'play', 'run' and 'cycle'.
'Fast play', 'fast run' and 'fast cycle' are not compound words as they do not have any new meaning of their own. Individually too, they do not have a complete meaning as phrases. Hence, options A, C and D are wrong.
