Answer:D.It is greater than the ratio of trumpets to clarinets.
First, you have to find the ratio flutes to violins. That is 9:12. Simplified, it is 3:4. Now, lets go down the list of options we have to pick
First option is A.It is the same ratio of violas to oboes. The ratio violas to oboes is 4:3. That is not the same as 3:4, so eliminate that option.
Second option is B.It is greater than the ratio of oboes to violas. The ratio oboes to violas is 3:4. This is the same as 3:4, so eliminate that option.
Third option is C.It is the same as the ratio of clarinets to trumpets. The ratio clarinets to trumpets is 6:2. That simplified is 3:1. This is not the same as 3:4. So lets eliminate that option. The only option left is option D, but how to check is down below.
Finally, the last option is D. It is greater than the ratio of trumpets to clarinets. The ratio trumpets to clarinets is 2:6. That simplified is 1:3. 3:4 is greater than 1:3, so D is the correct answer.
