The sentence that contains a subject that is compound in form but singular in meaning is:

c. a can of frank and beans is my favorite dinner.

In this sentence, "a can" is the singular subject, while "frank and beans" is the compound phrase that follows. The overall subject is singular because it refers to "a can," not the individual items within.
