Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Based on the given conditions:
- A always goes with E, so A and E are automatically included in the team.
- F and C must go together, so F and C must also be in the team.
- The selected players need to have an equal number of males and females, so one more male and one more female must be chosen.
- The valid combination is G (male) and B (female), which gives the final team members as G, C, B, F.
