best_answer

Given: ABC and BDE are two equilateral triangles such that D is the mid-point of BC.

All angles of the triangle are 60 \degree.

\triangleABC \sim \triangle BDE    (By AAA)

Let AB=BC=CA = x

then   EB=BD=ED=\frac{x}{2}

\frac{ar(\triangle ABC)}{ar(\triangle BDE)}=(\frac{x}{\frac{x}{2}})^2=\frac{4}{1}

Option C is correct.
