OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
$\(6: 1\)$
Look up the area forested for the two regions, then look at the answer choices to see which matches their ratio. Since the answer choices are pretty widely spread, we can estimate freely. The South has 185,514 thousand acres of forested land; New England 32,460 thousand acres. The ratio is about 180,000 to 30,000 , which reduces to $\(6: 1\)$.
