Correct Answer: $\operatorname{48 cm}$


Solution : Given that $\Delta ABC$ and $\Delta DEF$ are similar, the ratios of their corresponding sides are equal.
We have $4AB = DE$ and $BC=\operatorname{12 cm}$.
$\Delta ABC\sim\Delta DEF$,
$\frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{AB}{DE}$
$\frac{12}{EF} = \frac{AB}{4AB}$
$EF = 12 × 4 = \operatorname{48 cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is $ \operatorname{48 cm}$
