Answer: C. 30:1

Explanation:

A ratio of x:y is created by taking the number of x and the number of y, plugging them in, and reducing if necessary. In this problem, x is orange trees and y is cherry trees. There are 30 orange trees and only 1 cherry tree, so the ratio is 30:1. It cannot be reduced.
