Well, I picked a weird way to do this but well it was a short approach

I thought of the girls as sides of a polygon, and a handshake as a diagonal.

Number of diagonal in a n-sided polygon is n(n-3)/2

Number of handshakes -> 6(3)/2 = 9

Hence D.


P.S.
Look what GMAT does to you, m picturing girls as "sides of a polygon"!!...Sigh...



i will surely use this method for the circular/ 'standing in circle' and condition questions. Pretty insightful, thank you!
