Writing and Simplifying Ratio

In the ratio A:BA:BA:B, why does the order of the numbers matter?

It must list the smaller number first so the ratio is simplified.

B

It must match the order of words in the question (e.g. "apples to oranges").

C

It must match the order of calculation used to find the two quantities.

D

It must place the larger number first, regardless of the wording in the question.
