A rampart is a defensive wall surrounding a fortress, just as a parapet is a low protective wall along the edge of a roof. Both pairs show a protective structure related to a larger structure, making option D the correct analogous pair.

Press, Television, and Cinema are all means of mass media used to disseminate information and entertainment to a wide audience. This relationship is the basis of the analogy.

The pair 'East : Orient' relates a cardinal direction to its traditional name. Similarly, 'West : Occident' pairs the cardinal direction west with its traditional name, making option D the correct analogous pair.

The words 'Coal,' 'Ebony,' and 'Soot' all relate to the color black or dark shades. 'Raven' is also associated with black, making it the most similar word among the options. The other options (Rust, Ash, Blush) refer to different colors or concepts.

Mars, Mercury, and Venus are the three planets closest to Earth in the solar system. Mercury and Venus orbit closer to the Sun than Earth, while Mars orbits just outside Earth's orbit. This makes option C, 'They are the planets nearest to the earth,' the correct analogy. The other options are either scientifically incorrect or irrelevant to the analogy.

Michigan, Baikal, and Nicaragua are all names associated with lakes: Lake Michigan in the USA, Lake Baikal in Russia, and Lake Nicaragua in Central America. Hence, option A is correct as they are names of lakes.

Arabia (the Arabian Sea region), Labrador (the Labrador Shelf), and Scandinavia (including the Scandinavian Peninsula and adjacent seas) are all regions known for their rich fishing grounds. The Arabian Sea benefits from strong monsoonal upwelling that brings nutrients to the surface, supporting abundant pelagic fish stocks. The Labrador Shelf, in the sub-arctic Northwest Atlantic, is a cold-water region where nutrient-rich waters sustain dense fish communities. Scandinavia, with its fjords and coastal waters influenced by the Gulf Stream and tidal mixing, supports productive fisheries for species like cod and herring. While Arabia and Scandinavia are peninsulas, Labrador is a large peninsula region, and not all are Muslim countries or islands. Therefore, the best analogy is that all these regions have fine fishing grounds.

Yeats, Ghalib, and Kabir are all renowned poets from different cultures and time periods, making 'They were poets' the correct analogy. The other options are factually incorrect as none of them received a Nobel Prize, were primarily social reformers, or saints.

Rabbit, Rat, and Mole are all mammals. Among the options, Mongoose is also a mammal, while Frog is an amphibian, Earthworm is an invertebrate, and Ant is an insect. Therefore, Mongoose is the correct answer as it shares the same class (mammal) as the given animals.

The pair 'Dislike : Repulsion' shows a relationship where the second word is a noun representing the feeling or result of the first word (a verb or action). 'Steal : Crime' follows the same pattern, where 'steal' is an action and 'crime' is the noun representing the act. Other options do not show this clear analogous relationship.
