Therefore,the correct pair is $LAYER : TIER$.

(A) The relationship between the numbers is defined by the pattern $(x^2 + 5)$.
For the first pair: $(25^2) + 5 = 625 + 5 = 630$.
Applying the same logic to the second pair: $(10^2) + 5 = 100 + 5 = 105$.
Therefore,the missing number is $105$.

(D) The relationship between '$Offhand$' and '$premeditation$' is that they are antonyms. '$Offhand$' means done without preparation,while '$premeditation$' means done with prior thought.
