(C) The relation provided is $Mars : Mercury : Venus$.
In the context of general knowledge and astronomy-based reasoning,these planets are often grouped based on their proximity to the Earth.
$Mars$,$Mercury$,and $Venus$ are among the planets closest to the Earth in our solar system.

(A) The given terms are $Gnu$,$Emu$,and $Curlew$.
$1$. $Gnu$ (also known as a wildebeest) is a large antelope.
$2$. $Emu$ is a large flightless bird.
$3$. $Curlew$ is a type of wading bird.
While $Emu$ and $Curlew$ are birds,$Gnu$ is a mammal. However,in the context of classification analogies,we look for the common category. Upon closer inspection,$Gnu$ is a mammal,$Emu$ is a bird,and $Curlew$ is a bird. This specific grouping is often found in reasoning tests where the commonality is that they are all animals. However,looking at the options provided,if we re-evaluate the list,$Gnu$ is a mammal,$Emu$ is a bird,and $Curlew$ is a bird. Since they are all animals,and specifically,they are all distinct species often used in biological classification analogies,the most appropriate classification is that they are all animals. Given the options,there might be a slight discrepancy in the question's premise if it implies they are all birds. However,if we consider the biological classification,they are all animals. If the question implies a specific trait,$Emu$ and $Gnu$ are known for being fast runners. Given the standard nature of such reasoning questions,the intended answer is often that they are all animals or share a specific trait. Re-evaluating the options,'These are birds' is incorrect because of $Gnu$. 'These are fast runners' is a shared characteristic for $Gnu$ and $Emu$. Given the options,the most logical choice in many reasoning contexts for this specific set is that they are all animals,but since that is not an option,we identify the commonality. Actually,$Gnu$,$Emu$,and $Curlew$ are all animals. If we must choose,the question might be flawed,but based on common reasoning patterns,we select the best fit.

(C) The relationship in the given analogy is based on the function of the objects.
$A$ $Chain$ is made up of $Links$,which connect together to form the structure.
$A$ $Bridge$ serves the purpose of connecting two separate areas or parts.
Therefore,the common functional characteristic among these terms is that they all serve to join or connect two parts together.

(D) The words $Sweep$,$Scrub$,and $Wipe$ are all verbs that describe different methods or actions performed to clean a surface.
Therefore,these terms are all connected with the process of cleaning.

(D) The cities $Delhi$,$Agra$,and $Mathura$ are all geographically located on the banks of the river $Yamuna$.
