Verbal Ability - Verbal Analogies - Discussion

DIVA : OPERA → A diva is a leading performer in opera.

Now let’s check each option:

Producer : theatre → A producer is important in theatre, but not a performer within theatre like a diva is in opera.
Director : drama → A director manages drama, but again, not a performer within drama.
Conductor : bus → A bus conductor is not an artistic performer; also they don’t fit the diva-opera relation.
Thespian : play → A thespian (actor) performs in a play, just like a diva performs in an opera.

So, the Correct Answer: Thespian : play.

I do not understand Why the answer is option D? Anyone, please clarify me.

Thespian : play should be the right one.

DIVA : OPERA.

Producer : theatre
Director : Drama
Conductor : bus
Thespian : play
