According to the Law of Multiple Proportions, if hydrogen combines with oxygen to form water (\( 2\text{ g} \) H with \( 16\text{ g} \) O) and hydrogen peroxide (\( 2\text{ g} \) H with \( 32\text{ g} \) O), the simple ratio of masses of oxygen that combine with a fixed mass of hydrogen is:

1. A
   8 : 1
2. B
   2 : 1
3. C
   1 : 1
4. D
   1 : 2
