Answer:

Explanation:

6.8/3 is the scale factor

1.35*(6.8/3)=3.06

1.8*(6.8/3)=4.08

3.75*(6.8/3)=8.5

8.5-8.35=0.15

3.4-3.06=0.34

since C is closer to the right proportion, if there is no option D, it should be the 2 answer you choose

Option B is definetly right, but what about another option, is there an option D?
