One way to solve it is by putting "sentences/bridge/relationship" between two words: DISTANCE: MILE
"Distance dimension is Mile" or "Distance can be measured in Mile".
So the analogy could be:
A. liquid: litre = "Liquid can be measured in litre " (Yes!)
B. bushel: corn = "Bushel can be measured in corn" (This is reversed).
C. weight: scale = "Weight dimension is scale" (Irrelevant).
D. fame: television = "Fame dimension is Television" (Illogical).
"Distance dimension is Mile" or "Distance can be measured in Mile".
So the analogy could be:
A. liquid: litre = "Liquid can be measured in litre " (Yes!)
B. bushel: corn = "Bushel can be measured in corn" (This is reversed).

D. fame: television = "Fame dimension is Television" (Illogical).

I think distance is a physical quantity and mile is its unit but liquid is a state of matter i.e. it is a matter not a physical quantity. It's mass or volume or density etc are the physical quantity. The unit of volume is a liter. In a straight way, we can say that distance is measured in mile and liquid can be measured in the liter. But is it correct scientifically?

Bushel is the unit of volume for measuring corns. If the words bushel and corn interchange their positions above, then option B will also be correct.

A distance is measured in mile, but the given option remaining are not satisfy, this is the answer (liquid is measured in litres).

The answer is [A]. Liquid:litre because liquid is measured in litres. So the answer is [A]. Liquid:litre.

Generally Liquid is measured in litres. This is the right answer. The remaining all are not closer.

Distance is measured by a mile and the liquid is measured the by litre. So the answer will be A.
