The given question is an analogy-based logical reasoning problem. Let's analyze the pattern involved and find out the term that will replace the question mark.
Understand the given analogy: CHICKEN : CHICK.
Here, 'CHICKEN' is the adult form of the animal, and 'CHICK' is a juvenile or young form of the same species. A chick is the offspring of a chicken.
Identify the pattern: The relationship is parent-to-offspring within the animal kingdom.
Apply the same logic to the given pair: PIG : ?
We know that a young pig is commonly called a "piglet".
Evaluate the options:
Lamb - A lamb is the young of a sheep, not a pig.
Piglet - Correctly represents the young of a pig.
Foal - A foal is the young of a horse.
Cub - A cub refers to the young of animals like lions, bears, wolves, etc., not a pig.
Conclusion: The correct alternative based on the analogy pattern is Piglet.
