Why it is 3 or 4? Why not 3 only? If its clearly mentioned about the boys here.

As per my conclusion G could be Male or female so answer B is right.

3 girls should be there definitely because A is a boy because his word is used for A, and his represent a boy.

Since A is sitting with his best friends which means more than one so 3 people will be sitting on first bench. F is a boy so B has to be a girl as only two two students will sit on 2 and 3 bench. C can not sit on bench 1 and bench 2 is occupied by F and B so it sits on bench 3. Rest can be figured easily.

Answer (b) is correct as we can clearly see there are three girls (d, b, c) definitely but we can't make out G is a girl or a boy. So the answer (b) 3/4 is correct.
The arrangement can be made easily but a number of girls and boys is little tricky.

According to me, The question is in wrong format. It should have been, how many girls can we assume out of 7? Otherwise, the answer is data inadequate.

Let me explain this answer.
1) A seat with "his" "friends"
i.e., A is boy and 1st bench has 3 students.
2) F seats "only" with B.
Given F is boy and i.e., B is girl.
3) G is 3rd bench remaining student is C.
So,
Males are f, e, a.
So answer is 3 or 4.
