HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Select gender</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>

<body>
    <div>
        <h3>Select Gender</h3>
        <input type="radio" name="gender" value="male">Male
        <input type="radio" name="gender" value="fmale">Female
    </div>
</body>

</html>

CSS
We are selecting the div and setting the text-align property value to center to horizontally center align the div.

div {
    text-align: center;
}
