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.

According to the question, A sits on the bench 1 and G sits on the bench 3. Since F the boy student sits with only B, so place F and B on the bench 2. Because F is a boy, B must be a girl. Given that, C(girl) can not sit with A, E and D so place it on bench 3.
Given that, A sits on the bench I with his best friends. Therefore more then two students are sitting on bench 1, which are A, E and D.
Since E is the brother of C. E is a boy.
In bench 1 min one person should be girl, but we don't no about A &D.
girls=C ,B confirmed and more 1 or 2 persons from A ,D are girls.
Therefore answer is (B).

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.

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

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.

If the arrangement is like that:
Bench 1: A, D.
Bench 2: F, B, C.
Bench 3: G, E.

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