To find the option which is in ascending order:

Let us convert the given number in same unit first.

So, all the numbers are converted to percentage.

We take 1.2% as it is.

The percentage value of 0.42 is, 42%

We take 97% as it is.

The percentage value of 11/8 is 137.5%

Hence, the ascending order is,

1.2%, 42%, 97%, 137.5%.

Hence, the correct option is A.
