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.

Option B is right.
it's obvious that there should be 3 girls ....a/c to ques.
And it's clear that boys E, F, A(sits with his friend).
One member can be either girl or boy.
So, there should be either 3 or 4 girls.

Because its not clear whether G is a girl or boy. It is said that there has to be at least 1 girl but not necessarily 1 girl only on each bench. And G's gender is not specified. So there is 3 or 4 girls.

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.

A is male member because its mentioned in question:
A sits on the bench I with his best friends.
D is a female member because at-least one girl should be sitting on a bench.
A sits on the bench I with his best friends.
D is a female member because at-least one girl should be sitting on a bench.

A sits on the bench I with 'his' best friends. E is the 'brother' of C. This means A & E are boys so by default D is a girl because atleast one girl sits on each bench.

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.
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.

Option B is correct (3 girls).
On each bench, at least one girl is there A is stated to be a boy and E is said to be sitting with "his" best friends making E a boy.

@Anish.
F the boy student sits with only B(It means that FB can occupy only 2 row). Since we don't know whether G is he or she .. So no of girls could be 3 or 4.
