Assuming the question is asking for the ratio of questions answered correctly to the number of questions, A is the correct answer. 75% of 20 is 15 ((20/4) x 3), so 15:20 is correct, though this can be cancelled to 3:4. If the question asks for the ratio of correct to incorrect answers, the ratio would be 15:5, or 3:1.
