The options are:

b) Frank can claim Anna as a dependent

c) Frank can claim Marvin as a dependent

d) Frank can claim Anna and Marvin as dependents

Answer:

Among the given choices, option: a "Frank cannot claim Anna or Marvin as a dependent " is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given details, the support test is clear as Frank has provided support to his daughter Anna and son Marvin.

Since Anna earns income $8000 that is more than $4200 and therefore she cannot be claimed as a dependent.

In the case of Marvin, he is not staying with Frank so he cannot be claimed as a dependent too.
