Below table can be prepared on the basis of the information provided:

Name Gender Institute Major Minor
Adriana F P   F
Bandita F Z   F
Chitra F     Z   F
Daisy F q   O
Amit M q    
Barun M Y O F
Chetan M X F  
Deb M      

Below can be deduced from the provided information:

Daisy specialized in operations (O), which means the other three individuals must have specialized in finance (F).

Adriana and Ded are from the same institute P, while Daisy and Amit are from institute Q. Bandita and Chitra must be from institute Z since only two females are from there. 

There is a female student from institute Y who majors in operations, which implies that Daisy cannot be from Y. 

Therefore, Daisy and Amit are from institute X. Consequently, Adriana and Deb are from institute Y.

Below table can be prepared on the basis of the deductions made above:

Name Gender Institute Major Minor
Adriana F Y O M
Bandita F Z F/O M
Chitra F     Z F/O M
Daisy F X F/M O
Amit M X F O/M
Barun M Y O F
Chetan M X F O/M
Deb M Y M F

On the basis of the given question if Chitra majors in finance then Bandita cannot major in finance since only one female student majors in finance. 

She cannot major in marketing as well since she has a minor degree in marketing.

Therefore, Bandita should major in operations.

Therefore, option 4 is correct.
