But C is already a girl and rest everything is mentioned in the question.

So answer should be option A.

I think option D is correct.

Where G, A, D could be girls or boys. Because they didn't mention A and G, D girl, or boy.

The correct arrangement is.

1. AED.
2. FB.
3. CG.

It is clearly mentioned that " F" only sits with " B". And gender of " G" Haven't been mentioned so it can be a male or female.

There should only be 3 female. It is mentioned that there should be at least 1 girl in a bench and it says a sits with 'his' best friends, i.e., E and D, E is said to be brother of C. Therefore D is the possible female.

Another answer which satisfies all the conditions is:

Bench-1: A B' F
Bench-2: E D
Bench-3: G C'
where (') symbolizes girl. And, one of E or D is a girl.
