The correct answer is pounds.


In order to complete this analogy, we first have to see what the connection between the first two words is. In the American measuring system, height is measured in inches. So, the analogy is that we need to find the measuring unit for weight in the American measuring system, which is pounds. Weight is measured in pounds (lb).
