B.Paul should measure exactly 4.5 cups of flour and 0.5 cup of brown sugar so that he has enough flour and not too much brown sugar for the recipe.

When given a 
recipe, you only have two options. Follow the exact amounts, or follow a matching ratio of those amounts. Anything else will ruin the food.

You can't do 4 cups and 1 cup because that's not a matching ratio (A). 5 cups of both is wayyyy off the ratio. (C)

Instead of 4.5 and 0.5 for example, we could double the recipe and do 9 and 1, for example. If you had an option D that said he wanted to make two of the 
recipe, then 9 and 1 would also be a correct answer.

Answer:

B. Paul should measure exactly 4.5 cups of flour and 0.5 cup of brown sugar so that he has enough flour and not too much brown sugar for the recipe.
