D

Mountain

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

Ice

Solution :

Correct Answer: The correct option is Ice.


Step-by-Step Explanation:


1. Understand the given relationship:
In the first pair, Ocean : water, an ocean is a massive body composed primarily of water.


2. Apply the same logic to the second pair:
We need to find what constitutes a glacier in the same way water constitutes an ocean.
A glacier is a large, persisting body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight.


3. Evaluate the options:
Cooling: This is a physical process/sensation, not the primary substance that forms a glacier.
Cave: A cave is a subterranean void or structure, not the material of a glacier.
Ice: Ice is the primary substance that forms a glacier, exactly matching how water forms an ocean.
Mountain: A mountain is a landform where glaciers may exist, but it is not the substance composing a glacier.


Therefore, the word that completes the relational pair is Ice.
