C Correct answer
Explanation

Let milk be 100 units. For 33% profit, water must be 33 units (33/100 of milk). The mixture is 133 units sold at milk's cost price. Water units per milk units = 33:100. Option A (1:3) would give 1:4 total ratio = 25% water. Option C correctly expresses water:milk as 33:100.
