Correct answer: (D) 25:14

Explanation

The answer is 25 to 14.

Overweight women in 2018 are 25 percent of 30000, which is 7500.

Overweight men in 2020 are 12 percent of 35000, which is 4200.

So the ratio is 7500 to 4200.

Dividing both by 300 gives 25 to 14.

So the ratio simplifies to 25 to 14.

So the answer is 25 to 14.
