To determine which statement is true, you would need to know the actual counts of the cubes and cylinders. Typically, the ratios can be calculated as follows:

  1. Count the number of cubes.
  2. Count the number of cylinders.
  3. Formulate the ratio based on the counts.

For instance:

  • If there are 3 cubes and 4 cylinders, then the ratio of cubes to cylinders is 3:4 (Statement A).
  • If there are 4 cubes and 3 cylinders, then the ratio of cylinders to cubes is 3:4 (Statement B).

Choose the correct statement according to the counts you have. If you don't have those counts provided, you may need to analyze the given visual representation to clarify.
