C Correct answer
Explanation

Volume cylinder = pi * r^2 * h. Volume cone = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h. Volume hemisphere = 2/3 * pi * r^3. Since h=r, V_cyl = pi * r^3, V_cone = 1/3 * pi * r^3, V_hemi = 2/3 * pi * r^3. Ratio = 1 : 1/3 : 2/3 = 3 : 1 : 2.

AI explanation

Using the volume formulas for a cylinder ($\pi r^2 h$), a cone ($\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$), and a hemisphere ($\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$), substitute $h = r$ to maintain the same height. This gives volumes of $\pi r^3$, $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^3$, and $\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$ respectively. The ratio of these volumes is $1 : 1/3 : 2/3$, which simplifies to $3 : 1 : 2$.
