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

A can of frank and beans is my favorite dinner.

In this sentence, "a can" is the singular subject, and "frank and beans" is part of a compound structure that helps describe what is in the can. The overall subject remains singular.
