Since the amount of white ribbon is 2 1/6, we have two complete units plus 1/6 of a whole, so the box should have one of six divisions.

The options that show this for the white ribbon are the first and second ones.

For the black ribbon, we have 3 2/3, that is, 3 whole boxes and 2/3 of a box.

The options that shows correcly this amount for black ribbon are the second and fourth ones (the second option shows 4/6, which is equivalent to 2/3).

So the correct option is the second one.
