Equal number of boys and girls means that there are 2 boys and 2 girls.
Number of ways in which 2 boys and 2 girls can be selected from 3 boys and 3 girls is 3C2 * 3C2 = 9.
Total number of ways in which 4 children are selected from 3 boys and 3 girls or from 6 children is 6C4 = 15.
So required probability is equal to (number of favorable cases)/ (total number of cases) = 9/15 = 3/5.

The correct answer is D.
