Who dictates if a pope is an anti pope or false pope?

Catholic AnswerAs there hasn't been an anti-pope since the fifteenth century, I think we don't have to worry about this so much. The Cardinals are the Bishops who are responsible for electing a new Pope, and if there is someone claiming to be Pope who was not elected by the Cardinals and is not ruling in the Vatican, then I think it would be pretty obvious to most people. The only time there was a real problem was in the fourteenth century when the Pope had moved to Avignon, France for a number of years, and there was an anti-Pope elected in Rome while the real Pope was in France. Before the whole mess got sorted out, there were three claimants to the Papal throne, they all ended up resigning and a new Pope was validly elected. For a complete list of popes, along with the anti-popes see the link below.

What city did NOT have its own pope during the years of the Great Schism?

.Catholic AnswerNo city ever has "its own pope". The pope has always been in Rome. During the Great Schism, there was a French anti-pope who was in Avignon, France, and near the end of the Great Schism, there was an Italian anti-pope in Pisa. So for your multiple choice question, any city outside of the Vatican and Rome did not have a Pope, and any city outside of Avignon and Pisa didn't even have a claimant to the Chair of Peter.
