As it isn't entirely clear where to start, we'll look to the statements first.
This is an Alternative approach.

(1) Since A/B = E/F, this tells us exactly what we need!
Sufficient.

(2) If we try manipulating the given stem to get C/G, we'd need to divide all the equations by G and multiply them all by D, giving AD/BG = C/G. This is insufficient to determine the value of A/B. Another way to see this is to pick numbers: say C = 2 and G = 1. If D = 2 then A/B = 1 but if D = 1 then A/B = 2.
Insufficient.

(A) is our answer.

Yes, we can!
But - notice that neither C/G nor D/H are equal to A/B, This is because 'manipulating the equations' means dividing by G and multiplying by D which would transform A/B into AD/BG
