Nana can give her extra marker to Clara.

Explanation:

If there are #8# markers in a set and Nana has #9# markers while Clara has #7#, that means Nana already has a full set plus an extra marker. In contrast, Clara is one marker away from having a full set.

If Nana gave her extra marker to Clara, then both girls would have full sets.
