The correct answer is C.
AD divides the parallelogram in half. AE divides the half parallelogram into half again. Because the heights of triangles ACE and ADE are equal and their bases are equal.
Triangle ADE is, therefore, one fourth of the parallelogram. And the ratio is 1 : 4The Best Books to Ace Algebra
