(C) The moment of inertia $I$ of a solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about its diameter is given by $I = \frac{2}{5} M R^2$. Since the mass $M$ is the product of volume $V$ and density $\rho$, we have $M = V \rho = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \rho$. Substituting this into the formula for $I$, we get $I = \frac{2}{5} (\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \rho) R^2 = \frac{8}{15} \pi R^5 \rho$. Therefore, the ratio of the moments of inertia is $\frac{I_A}{I_B} = \frac{\frac{8}{15} \pi R^5 \rho_A}{\frac{8}{15} \pi R^5 \rho_B} = \frac{\rho_A}{\rho_B}$.
