- $Cottage : Hut : Palace$ (All are types of buildings,no body part relation).
- $Fish : Crocodile : Water$ (All live in water,but $Water$ is not a body part).
- $Horse : Ox : Horn$ (Both $Horse$ and $Ox$ are animals,and $Horn$ is a body part,but $Horse$ does not have horns. This is a weak analogy).
- $Truck : Scooter : Gear$ (Both $Truck$ and $Scooter$ are vehicles,and $Gear$ is a mechanical part that both possess).
Comparing the structure,the relation is: $Animal_1 : Animal_2 : Body Part$ or $Object_1 : Object_2 : Component Part$. The option $Truck : Scooter : Gear$ follows the pattern of two items of the same category sharing a common specific component.

(C) The given relation is based on the material used to make the objects. $A$ chair,a door,and a stick are all typically made of wood. Similarly,a statue,a brick,and a pitcher are all typically made of clay or earth-based materials. Therefore,this option follows the same logic.

$2$. The first term feeds on the third term (a $Lizard$ eats $Insects$).
Applying this logic to the options:
- $Tiger$ is a $Mammal$ (Class).
- $Tiger$ feeds on $Deer$ (Prey).
Therefore,the correct alternative is $Tiger : Mammal : Deer$.

(C) The relationship in the given analogy is as follows:
$1$. The first term is the adult animal $(Horse)$.
$2$. The second term is the young one of the first term $(Pony)$.
$3$. The third term is the female of the first term $(Mare)$.
Analyzing the options:
- In option $C$,$Man$ is the adult,$Child$ is the young one,and $Woman$ is the female of the species. This matches the pattern perfectly.

(D) The relationship is: The first item (Ink) is used by the second item (Pen) to work on the third item (Paper).
Similarly,Colour is used by a Brush to work on a Canvas.

(C) In the given relation,'Researcher','Historian',and 'Scholar' are all terms that describe individuals engaged in intellectual or academic pursuits. Specifically,a 'Researcher' and a 'Historian' both fall under the broader category of a 'Scholar'. Similarly,in option $C$,'Teacher','Professor',and 'Lecturer' are all roles that fall under the broader category of an educator or academic professional. Thus,the third term denotes the class to which the first and second belong.

(A) The relationship is defined as: Part of the body : Joint/Area : Ornament worn on that area.
$1$. The $Wrist$ is a joint/part of the $Hand$,and a $Bangle$ is an ornament worn on the $Wrist$.
$2$. Similarly,the $Ankle$ is a joint/part of the $Foot$,and an $Anklet$ is an ornament worn on the $Ankle$.
Therefore,the correct relation is $Foot : Ankle : Anklet$.

Thus,the progression of intensity matches the given pattern.

(C) The relationship is defined as: $First$ is the working place of the $Third$,and the $Second$ denotes the city in which the $First$ is located.
In the given analogy,$Stars$ work in a $Studio$,and the $Studio$ is located in $Bombay$.
Checking the options:
$Parliament : Delhi : Ministers$ follows the same logic: $Ministers$ work in a $Parliament$,and the $Parliament$ is located in $Delhi$.

(A) The relationship is: The first item is the raw material or base used to create the second (a tool or process) and the third (the final product or related item).
In the given analogy:
$1$. Hair is the raw material.
$2$. $A$ brush is used to style/groom hair.
$3$. $A$ wig is the final product made from hair.
Analyzing the options:
- Option $A$: Iron is the raw material,a hammer is a tool,and an axe is a product made from iron. This follows the same logical pattern.
