Boys and girls ________ enjoy playing with the building blocks.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Alike

The idiomatic structure "X and Y alike" means "both X and Y equally". "Boys and girls alike enjoy playing with the building blocks" correctly conveys that both groups enjoy the activity.

Like and dislike are verbs and clash with the main verb "enjoy"; even would imply surprise, which the sentence does not call for. Hence Alike.
