The answer is 1:2:4.
The tones that are separated by three octaves have a frequency ratio of 1:2:4.
Explanation:
For example, if one note has a frequency of 220Hz, the second note immediately over it has a frequency that is double of the first note and is equal to 440Hz. Following this trend, the frequency of the third note will be twice that of the second note and will be 880Hz. Therefore, the ratio of the three frequency notes starting from the least to the highest is 220:440:880 that can be simplified to 1:2:4.

Each octave has a double frequency as compared to its previous octave.
The tones that are separated by three octaves have a frequency ratio of 8. As the explanation for this is pretty simple, lets suppose we have 'n' number of octaves.
They would have a frequency ratio of n1/n2 = 2n. As we have three octaves so 2n would be
2n*3 = 8.
Therefore the solution i propose for this question is 3 octaves would have a frequency ratio of 8.
