Therefore, the correct analogy is 'Spanner is to Nuts'. Since 'Nuts' is option C, the correct answer is C, not A. The original answer 'A' (Vegetables) is incorrect.

Among the options, the correct analogous pairs are those where the first word is an animal and the second word is the sound it makes. 'Crows : Cackle' is incorrect because crows make a 'caw' sound, not a 'cackle.' 'Tiger : Yelp' is incorrect because tigers roar or growl, not yelp. 'Owls : Hoot' is correct because owls are known for their hooting sound. 'Camel : Bleat' is incorrect because camels grunt, while 'bleat' is the sound made by sheep, goats, and lambs. Therefore, the best analogous pair is 'Owls : Hoot.'
