Correct answer: A

The Flag Code fixes the proportion but not the size.
The Flag may be of any size so long as it is rectangular and the ratio of its length to its height is 3:2.
A ratio of 2:1 belongs to other countries' flags and is the usual distractor here.

Worth noting

Proportion is regulated, dimension is not. That distinction is the whole answer, and it is why a flag on a desk and one over a fort obey the same rule.
