Answer:

  The correct option is C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The  number of purple  kernel is  [tex]n_k = 3593[/tex]

        The number of  yellow kernel is  [tex]n_y = 1102[/tex]

Generally the ration of the purple to the yellow kernels is mathematically evaluated as

              [tex]r = \frac{n_k}{n_y}[/tex]

substituting values

              [tex]r = \frac{3593}{1102}[/tex]

              [tex]r = 3.3[/tex]      

              [tex]r \approx 3[/tex]

Therefore the ratio is  

               [tex]1 \ Yellow : 3 \ Purple[/tex]
