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 of frank and beans" is a compound subject in terms of the items referred to, but it is treated as a singular unit, which is why it takes the singular verb "is."
