Explanation:

The original sentence is erroneous.

Reason: The term ‘each’ follows singular form. Each boy and each girl is individually and not as a group. So the singular form of the be verb should be used. Hence ‘is’ should be used in place of ‘are’ in order to make the sentence grammatically correct.

Among the given choices, only option B replaces the given bold part most appropriately.

The sentence after replacement becomes:

Each boy and each girl is requested to be in school uniform tomorrow. Option B is hence the correct answer.
