ABBBG, BBGB, BBGG, BGBB, BGBG, BGGB, BGGG, GBBB, GBBG, GBGB, GBGG, GGBB, GGBG, GGGB

BBBBB, BBBG, BBGB, BBGG, BGBB, BGBG, BGGB, BGGG, GBBB, GBBG, GBGB, GBGG, GGBB, GGBG, GGGB, GGGG

CBBBB, BBB, BB, B

DBBBB, BBBG, BBGG, BGGG, GGGG

Verified Answer :

Correct answer is B.

There are \(2^4 = 16\) points in the sample space, so choices C and D are automatically out.

 
Choice A is out because there is a possibility to have all 4 boys, but BBBB is not in choice A.
   
So the answer is choice B
