Verified answer

The distance between Venus and Earth varies from about 42 million km (at inferior conjunction) to about 258 million km (at superior conjunction). The distance between Earth and Mars also varies considerably depending on their orbits around the sun. In theory, the closest Mars and Earth would get is when Mars reaches its closest point to the sun (perihelion) and Earth is at its farthest (aphelion). This would bring the two planets within 33.9 million miles (54.6 million kilometers) of each other. The average distance between Earth and

Mars is 140 million miles (225 million km).

Based on this information, it seems that option d. 0.4 : 22.5 cannot be a ratio of the distance between Venus to Earth and the distance between Earth to Mars..
