    None of these

Answer

Correct Answer: Poultry : Farm

Explanation

Introduction / Context:This item juxtaposes “animal → food” against “animal → place.” Correctly separating consumption relations from locational relations is a staple in classification tasks about living things.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Cow : Fodder (diet)
  • Crow : Carrion (diet)
  • Poultry : Farm (place of rearing/habitat)
  • Vulture : Prey (diet)

Concept / Approach:Mark whether the second term is eaten by the first (food) or is a typical place associated with the first (habitat/farm). Choose the non-food relation as the outlier.

Step-by-Step Solution:Cow : Fodder → food relation.Crow : Carrion → food relation.Vulture : Prey → food relation.Poultry : Farm → place/habitat relation → odd one out.

Verification / Alternative check:Attempt substitution: “Poultry eats farm” is nonsensical, while “cow eats fodder,” “crow eats carrion,” and “vulture eats prey” are semantically valid. This confirms the relational mismatch.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Cow : Fodder → diet relation.
  • Crow : Carrion → diet relation.
  • Vulture : Prey → diet relation.
  • None of these → a single place relation exists (Poultry : Farm).

Common Pitfalls:Confusing “where” with “what.” Farms are locations for poultry but not their food.

Final Answer:Poultry : Farm
