Answer: [B]

Solution. 
Area of a parallelogram is given as the product of its base and corresponding altitude.
Altitude is the perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides.
Now, parallelogram on the same or equal bases and between the same parallels will have the same area. This is because the base is the same, and also as they are between the same bases so the altitude will be the same for them.
So, the ratio of their area is 1 : 1.

Hence, (B) is the correct answer.
