The angles of elevation of the top of a tower from three collinear points $A, B$,and $C$ on a road leading to the foot of the tower are $30^{\circ}, 45^{\circ}$,and $60^{\circ}$ respectively. The ratio of $AB$ to $BC$ is

  • A
    $\sqrt{3}: 1$
  • B
    $\sqrt{3}: 2$
  • C
    $1: 2$
  • D
    $2: \sqrt{3}$
