What you need to do for this is to simplify the proportions so that you can compare them.
a) 6/10 simplifies to (=) 3/5. 20/12 = 5/3. Not the same.
b) 6/12 = 1/2. 20/10 = 2/1. Not the same.
c) 6/20 = 3/10. 10/12 = 5/6. Not the same.
d) 6/10 = 3/5. 12/20 = 3/5. Same! So, here's your answer =)

d, also e) 6*10=12*10
The easiest way to remember this though is to use the english way of doing these things.
when writing the sentance x is to y as a is to b, you just change the "is to" to ":" and the "as" to "::" thus - 6:10::12:20, then just change it to what you get from D
