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

  1. A can of frank and beans is my favorite.

In this sentence, "a can of frank and beans" is a compound subject (frank and beans), but it refers to a single item (the can). Therefore, it is singular in meaning.
