Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Biology : Botany
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:Three pairs show a discipline directly mapped to its subject of study (X = study of Y). One pair instead shows a broad science and one of its sub-branches (whole → part), not the “study-of → subject” pattern.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:Identify which right-hand term is a “subject” (birds, fungi, algae) versus a “sub-discipline” (botany). The odd pair must be the only whole→part relation.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Classify A, B, D as “study-of → subject”.2) Note C is “field → subfield”.3) Hence “Biology : Botany” is the single mismatch.Verification / Alternative check:Try reversing: “Birds : Ornithology” (subject → study) still fits; “Botany : Biology” is subfield → field, not subject → study.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They all retain the clear study-of mapping.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing “any relation” with “the same relation across three pairs.” The test asks for the lone different relation.
Final Answer:Biology : Botany
