B Correct answer
Explanation

Total ratio parts = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12. Alex's share = (4 / 12) * 132 = (1/3) * 132 = 44.

AI explanation

The total of the ratio parts is 3 + 4 + 5 = 12, making each part worth £132 divided by 12, which is £11. Alex receives 4 parts, so his share is 4 multiplied by £11. The result is £44.
