But C is already a girl and rest everything is mentioned in the question.
So answer should be option A.

I think the correct answer to this question is option (B).
This is because in each bench there has to be at least 1 girl so three females are there it is confirmed! C is female per the question, and B will also be female per the condition of one female per bench (since B sits only with F).
And the question clearly says that F, E, A are males, but nothing is said in the question about the gender of D and G. But the gender of D is easily identifiable as female because she is in bench I where two are already males, so D must be a female! Still, the gender of G is unknown because the question says at least 1 female on a bench; at most, it can be 2, so G may be a male or a female!
