"b" is correct..
"e" could not be the answer as it changes the meaning of sentence...it shows that sum of male and female students are distributed equally in medical students...it doesn't matter whther they are in equal in numbers at each school..

rest of options are totally awkward...

equivalent

In a the use of equivalent to is incorrect.

The expressions "equal to" and "the equivalent of" are used to compare entities in quality.

e.g. The students in English class and in French class are equal in their comprehension abilities.
