NEED ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Triangle A C F is shown. Lines are drawn from each point to the opposite side and intersect at point D. Line segments A E, F B, and C G are formed. The length of line segment A D is 12 and the length of line segment D E is 4.
Based on the diagram, can point D be the centroid of triangle ACF? Explain.

Yes, point D is the point of intersection of segments drawn from all three vertices.
Yes, DE is three-quarters of the length of the full segment.
No, DE should be longer than AD.
No, the ratio between AD and DE is 3:1.
