B Correct answer
Explanation

Statement B gives interest = 33.1% of principal, so ratio x:z can be found from z = x + 0.331x = 1.331x. Statements A and C don't directly give the ratio without additional information. The question asks about compound interest but the topic is mislabeled as mensuration.
