Let's solve the two parts of the problem based on the image you've provided.

### a) What fraction of the members are boys?

From the table, there are:
- 6 girls
- 2 boys

The total number of members is \( 6 + 2 = 8 \).

The fraction of boys is:
\[
\text{Fraction of boys} = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}
\]

So, the fraction of the members who are boys is \( \frac{1}{4} \).

### b) Select the pie chart which shows this information.

We know that:
- 1/4 of the members are boys.
- 3/4 of the members are girls.

From the key, boys are represented by the purple section, and girls by the green section. 

Looking at the charts:
- The correct pie chart would need to show 1/4 of the circle as purple (boys) and 3/4 as green (girls).

The correct pie chart is **B**, as it accurately divides the chart into 1/4 purple and 3/4 green.
