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.

'G' may be male/female so option 2 is correct because B, C, D are girls that is final.

Indirectly given that A sits with HIS best friends which means A is a male and D is the only female in the 1st row.

There can be only three girls as we see that the pronoun for A is written as 'his'. So, option A is correct one. If not, you will face another problem in one of the next questions about a group of girls which is having its answer as CBD.

According to me, the solution is;.
Consider this, " A sits on the bench I with his best friends" means A is a boy "E is the brother of C " means E also is a boy. That leaves with only "3" girls - can't be 4 girls.
