Hibernation is a state of inactivity during winter to survive cold conditions, while aestivation is a similar state of dormancy during summer to survive heat and drought. Thus, the analogy Winter : Hibernation :: Summer : Aestivation is correct.

The analogy compares a professional to the entity they typically interact with or serve. A professor delivers a lecture, similarly, a doctor treats a patient. Therefore, 'Patient' is the correct answer.

A paw is a part of a cat, just as a hoof is a part of a horse. This analogy tests the relationship between an animal and a part of its body.

A jockey is the person who rides and controls a horse, similarly, a chauffeur is the person who drives and controls a car. Hence, the correct analogy is 'Car : Chauffeur'.

The analogy compares a singular item to a collective noun representing a group of such items. 'Grain' is a single unit, and 'Stock' is a collection of grains. Similarly, a 'Stick' is a single unit, and a 'Bundle' is a collection of sticks. Therefore, 'Bundle' is the correct answer.

The analogy 'Reading : Knowledge :: Work : ?' is about the relationship where the first word leads to or produces the second word. Reading leads to gaining knowledge, similarly, work leads to gaining experience. Therefore, 'Experience' is the best fit for the analogy, as it mirrors the process-outcome relationship seen in the first pair. 'Experiment' is not the best fit because work does not necessarily lead to an experiment, but rather to experience gained through effort and practice.

A planet moves along an orbit, and similarly, a projectile moves along a trajectory. Both 'orbit' and 'trajectory' describe the path followed by the object in motion, making 'Trajectory' the correct analogous term.

The analogy compares Hong Kong to China as a region to its country; similarly, Vatican is related to Rome as a city-state within the city of Rome. Therefore, the correct answer is Rome.

The analogy compares a substance used to protect or treat something: a pesticide protects crops from pests, similarly, an antiseptic is used to treat wounds to prevent infection.

The analogy compares opposite concepts: Growth is the opposite of Death, so Increase is the opposite of Decrease. Therefore, 'Decrease' correctly completes the analogy.
