I have just completed my XII board examination with Science stream. Which stream / subject should I opt for graduation which could be helpful for my UPSC Civil Services exam preparation?

Clubbing graduation with UPSC is not all that advisable. There is a big list of subjects for UPSC Mains. One can choose any one of the optional subject. The optional subject has no restriction to be one in which the candidate is graduated. Graduation should be preferably done on interest in specific field.

Major chunk of the prelims exam depends on general studies. Based on this criteria, one should not choose for the humanities stream. For the Civils Mains, Geography and Public Administration are the most preferred optional subjects.
These subjects are preferred for being scoring and easy for preparation.
