1.
| candle | lamp | floodlight |
| hut | cottage | ? |
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Above the line, the relationship shows a progression of sources of light. The relationship below the line shows a progression of types of housing, from smallest to largest. (Choice a) is incorrect because a tent is smaller than a house. Choices b and c are wrong because they are not part of the progression.

Even dwelling means house or residence. If it's house then why it's not dwelling? And one more thing, candle is used in hut, lamplight is used in cottage and the floodlight must ne used in city only. So the right option is Option B.

@All.
1) Makes assumptions about the definition of a cottage. A cottage could be larger than a house and vice-versa. A city by definition is larger than both a house/cottage. 'Cottage' and 'house' are vague terms and should not be used here if this is the logical link the question wants to create.
2) A better logical assumption to make is the typical light source used in each dwelling. A candle fits in a hut. A lamp fits in a cottage and a floodlight fits in a city.

The objects above the line are all type of lights. The objects below the line are all limited place where we living. I think option D is a correct answer.

Option B should be the answer. Floodlights are generally used in stadiums, streets. Not in the house.
