Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

A 'Correspondent' produces 'News', and that news is then carried in a 'Newspaper'. So the chain is: a producer, what the producer produces, and the form or product through which it finally reaches people.

Checking each option against this pattern, 'Farmer : Crop : Food' is the closest match: a 'Farmer' produces a 'Crop', and the crop becomes 'Food', the end-product through which it is ultimately used. The other options break the pattern - the second term is a raw material the worker consumes (Mason : Cement), or the first term is not a producer at all (Cloud, Road).

Hence 'Farmer : Crop : Food' best carries the same producer : product : end-form relationship.
