Answer:

A. tossing five coins

C. spinning a spinner with 2 equal parts 5 times

Explanation:

Each kitten has 2 equally likely outcomes: male or female. So either a fair coin or a spinner with 2 equal parts can be used to simulate a kitten's gender. Tossing 5 coins or spinning the spinner 5 times simulates 5 kittens' genders.
