Solution

The correct option is A inversely proportional to the square of the concentration of B
Given the reactions:
ABA++B and AB+BAB2
K1=[A+][B][AB];K2=[AB2][AB][B]
K1K2=[A+][B]2[AB2]
[A+][AB2]1[B]2
Hence, the ratio of A+ to AB2 in the solution is inversely proportional to the square of the concentration of B.
