Ramesh is absolutely wrong since the grain is considered as the smallest part of salt where as similarly chips are made of sio2 it is a part of glass hence D is the right option.

I don't understand. Grain is an unit of salt as we say "salt grain". Similarly we say "blades of grass". But then shred of pottery and chip of glass is also true. I am confused.

I think friends. When grains are grinded it looks like salt. Similarly when any chip is destroyed it looks like broken pieces of glass. So I think they have some relation.

Option D is correct because when we consider each and every single particle of salt that is known as grain & when glass breaks into pieces then that is known as chips.

Does really glass and salt have any relation? I guess the similarity is no relation among them in both question and answer. I'm still confused. Can anyone make me clear?

@Karthick M is correct.
A small hard particle or Crystal : Grain.
A small piece that has been broken off from something Larger : Chip.
So, the answer is option D.

Why it should not be blade:grass?
Since it is a shard of glass and chip of wood which is not present there, the only one left that makes sense is blade:grass.

But a glass can be considered to b consisting even smaller units. Salt is a type of granular substance. But glass is not a chip-like substance. Then?
Rosh said:

Grain of salt means a small amount of salt. Similarly a chip of glass means a small parts of glass.
Grain and chip almost have the same meaning.
Grain and chip almost have the same meaning.
