1.8d

Using the fact  the in inverse proportion multiplication of x and y is constant and hence equate each column value with 9 and solve for a, b, c, and d.
Solving for a,
3a=9
a=3
Solving for b,
2.25b=9
b=4
Solving for c,
1c=9
c=9
Solving for d,
1.8d=9
d=5
Value of a = 3, b = 4, c = 9, and d = 5.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
