The abundance ratios are defined by
\[
[\mathrm{X/Y}]=\log_{10}(n_{\mathrm{X}}/n_{\mathrm{Y}})_{\star}-\log_{10}(n_{\mathrm{X}}/n_{\mathrm{Y}})_{\odot}.
\]
For Star 1 the given values immediately imply
\[
(n_{\mathrm{Si}}/n_{\mathrm{H}})_{1}=(n_{\mathrm{Si}}/n_{\mathrm{H}})_{\odot}\times10^{0.3}.
\]
For Star 2 they imply
\[
(n_{\mathrm{Si}}/n_{\mathrm{H}})_{2}=(n_{\mathrm{Si}}/n_{\mathrm{H}})_{\odot}\times10^{-0.3}.
\]
The ratio of silicon number densities (or, equivalently, the ratio of silicon atoms once the dominant hydrogen reservoir is taken to be the same in both photospheres) is therefore
\[
\frac{(n_{\mathrm{Si}})_{1}}{(n_{\mathrm{Si}})_{2}}=10^{0.6}\approx3.98,
\]
which matches option A. (Stellar masses, solar reference abundances of Fe and Mg, and the spectroscopic method are not required.)

The answer is (A)
