A golden rectangle has a length to width ratio of approximately 1.618. Therefore, we need to look for a rectangle where the length is 1.618 times the width.

A) 11/27 = 0.407, which is not close to the golden ratio. 
B) 22/31 = 0.710, which is also not close to the golden ratio. 
C) 33/54 = 0.611, which is very close to the golden ratio of 1.618.

Therefore, the best choice is C.
