A and C
The correct answer is A and C.
The sentence uses a compound pun because it plays on the word "patience," which has a double meaning of both enduring waiting and also referring to the patients in a hospital. Additionally, it also utilizes a homophonic pun, as "patience" sounds the same as "patients," making it a play on words.
