Solution

The correct option is A History
Seven friends A, B, C, D, E, G and I study in three different standard 5th, 6th and 7th. Each having a different favourite subject.
Condition:- Not less than two friends study in same standard.
According to the question,
A likes Maths and studies in 5th standard with only one other friend who likes Marathi.
$A \to 5^{t h} std \to M a t h s$
$? \to 5^{t h} std \to M a r a t h i$
I studies with two other friends and those who study with I like Languages.
So, the person studying with I likes English and Hindi.
D studies in the $6^{t h}$ std with only person.
D does not like civics.
E studies with only one friend.
E does not like languages.
So, it is clear that E does not study with I.
D and E study in std. 6
The one who likes history does not study in 5th or 6th std. So. the one who studies History studies in 7th std.
Now, rough sketch of the above/information is:-
$\begin{matrix} F r i e n d s & S t a n d a r d & F a v o u r i t e s u b j e c t A & 5 t h & M a t h s B & - & - C & - & - D & 6 t h & - E & 6 t h & - G & - & - I & - & - \end{matrix}$
C does not like English, Hindi, so C does not study with I.
I studies in std. 7. The person studying with I likes language and the one who studies History does not study in 5th or 6th standard. So, I likes History.
$I \to 7^{t h} std \to H i s t o r y$
C does not study with I, so C studies with A and likes Marathi.
$C \to 5^{t h} std \to M a r a t h i$
So, B studies in std 7 and G also study in std 7; D, C. B and G does not like Civics. So, E likes Civics. Now D is left with Economics. Now, the above information is shown in tabular form as:-
$\begin{matrix} F r i e n d s & S t a n d a r d & F a v o u r i t e s u b j e c t A & 5 t h & M a t h s B & 7 t h & H i n d i / E n g l i s h C & 5 t h & M a r a t h i D & 6 t h & E c o n o m i c s E & 6 t h & C i v i c s G & 7 t h & H i n d i / E n g l i s h I & 7 t h & H i s t o r y \end{matrix}$

I's favourite subject is History.
