D

1) Two triangles are similar if their sides are proportional to each other and their angles are congruent.

2) If the ratio is 2:1 then the larger triangle is twice larger than the other one.

3) Examining the options we can state that their corresponding angles do not have a ratio of 2:1. So this is false. And the answer is D
