Correct Answer:
C. Boxing : Ring
This is an analogy question, requiring identification of the relationship between the first pair of words and then finding a second pair with the same relationship. The relationship between "Cricket" and "Pitch" is that a Pitch is the specific playing area for the sport of Cricket.
- Boxing : Ring: A Ring is the specific playing area for the sport of Boxing. This perfectly matches the relationship.
- Boat : Harbour: A harbour is where boats are kept, not where the sport is primarily played.
- Wrestling : Track: A track is for running, not wrestling. Wrestling takes place on a mat.
- Ship : Dock: Similar to boat and harbour, a dock is where ships are moored, not their primary playing field.
Thus, Boxing : Ring is the only option that maintains the "sport : playing area" relationship established by "Cricket : Pitch."
