For distinct interference pattern to be observed, necessary condition is that ratio of intensity of light emission by both the sources should be:

a}2:1

b}1:2

c}1:1

d}1:4

Amplitudes of the two sources of light should be same to get a crisp interference pattern. Thus means that the intensity (which is the square of amplitude) should also be the same or the ratio should be 1:1.

Thus, correct answer is option (c).
