• A. $24:8$.
• B. $34:8$
• C. $8:34$.
• D. $8:24$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$34:8$

Explanation for the correct option:

Given blue marbles $=$ $14$

Red marbles $=$ $8$

Green marbles $=12$

Total number of marbles $=$$14+8+12$

$=$$34$

The ratio of the total number of marbles to the number of red marbles $=$$\frac{34}{8}$

Hence, option $\left(B\right)$ $34:8$ is the correct answer.
