Statement C: For every girl in the reading club, there are three girls in the drama club.

• Girls in the reading club = 4
• Girls in the drama club = 12
• Ratio: 12 girls in drama club / 4 girls in reading club = 3. This statement is true.

Statement D: For every girl in the reading club, there are four girls in the drama club.

• Girls in the reading club = 4
• Girls in the drama club = 12
• Ratio: 12 girls in drama club / 4 girls in reading club = 3. This statement is false.
