B. 1.25

The scale factor used to create triangle SRT from triangle GFH is 1.25. This can be determined by comparing the corresponding side lengths of the two triangles. Since the side lengths of triangle SRT are 1.25 times larger than the corresponding side lengths of triangle GFH, the scale factor is 1.25.
