Answer:

B. Clydesdale is to horse

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we need to complete the analogy.

An analogy is a comparison we make between things to explain or clarify something.

The Holstein is a breed of cattle. This is why we can say that an analogy is based on the breed : species (Holstein : cow) relationship. We need to determine which pair is based on the same relationship.

  • Pair A is based on the species : breed (dog : schnauzer) relationship. The schnauzer is a dog breed.
  • Pair B is the only one based on the breed : species (Clydesdale : horse) relationship, as the Clydesdale is a horse breed.
  • Pair C is based on the species : species analogy. The goat and the pig are different species.
  • Pair D is based on the pattern : species analogy. We use the word striped to describe what the pattern of a cat's coat looks like.

This is why option B is the correct one.
