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.

@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.

Floodlights are used around the house so option D is correct.
