Answer:

The second answer is correct 5/4.

Explanation:

Lets give some values for the base and the height.

The perimeter of a triangle =b+h

Lets say b=1 and h=2

Perimeter 1+2=3

b=1*(5/4)=1.25

h=2*(5/4)=2.5

1.25+2.5=3.75

3.75/3=1.25

A 4/5=0.8 so is wrong

B 5/4=1.25 so is right

C 25/16=1.5625 so is wrong

D 16/25=0.64 so is wrong
