The correct answer is D. Parched

Step-by-step explanation:

In language, an analogy occurs when the relationship between two elements, concepts or ideas is transferred to a new pair of concepts or elements. Because of this, in analogies, the type of relationships between the two first concepts that can be part to everything relationship; synonyms relationship, antonyms relationship, level or degree relationship is used in two other concepts. In the case of the concepts "moist: saturated", bot of these words are used to refer to something that is soaked with liquid or wet. This means the relationship between both words is a synonym relationship and therefore, the word that completes the analogy along with the word "dry" is "parched" as also, both of these words are synonyms or have similar meanings as in the case of the first two terms "moist: saturated".
