The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The given problem is a verbal analogy where a relationship between the first pair of words has to be identified and applied to find the missing word in the second pair. Let's examine the relationship: 

  1. Observe the first pair of words: "Hen : Chick".
  2. Explanation: A "chick" is the young one of a "hen". This indicates a parent-offspring relationship, specifically a female animal with its young.
  3. Now, apply this relationship to the second part of the analogy: "Frog : ...". We need to determine the young one of a frog.
  4. The young one of a frog is called a "tadpole".
  5. Therefore, the correct option that completes the analogy is "Tadpole".

Let's evaluate the options provided:

  • Kitten: The young one of a cat. Not relevant to a frog.
  • Tadpole: The young one of a frog. Correct choice.
  • Puppy: The young one of a dog. Not relevant to a frog.
  • Fawn: The young one of a deer. Not relevant to a frog.

Thus, based on the parent-offspring relationship, the correct answer is Tadpole.
