Directions to Solve
The words in the bottom row are related in the same way as the words in the top row. For each item, find the word that completes the bottom row of words.
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.

I differ on the choice for this question because:
Houses, ordinarily, do NOT have floodlights and therefore the inference is of a much larger scale. Therefore B is a more suitable option or floodlight should be replaced with something like "main light" or overhead light, etc.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

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

@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.
