Solution

The correct option is A Q
Since B and E cannot be in the same team, so we have to select either B or E.
If we select B, then the team of boys will be ABCDF.
B and R have to be together, and C and Q have to be together. Thus we will get two girls.
But we want only one girl. So, we cannot select B.
Thus we select E and the team of boys become ACDEF.
Since C and Q have to be together.
Hence, Q is the required girl member in the team.
