Check to see which ones equal the same thing. The ratio for the original is 9/15, so find which others are equal, but close to it.

9/15 = .6 (Original)
--------------
3.2/6 = .53 (A)
3.9 / 6 = .65 (b)
3.6 / 6 = .6 (C) <---- DING MATCH!
4 / 6 = .66 (D)

Since they have the same ratio, the answer is C.
