Answer
A
sky : blue :: dirt : brown

flower : petal :: tree : leaf
C
car : road :: boat : water
D
food : sandwich :: sport : softball

Explanation

A part-to-whole analogy pairs something with one of its parts. A petal is part of a flower, and a leaf is part of a tree, so both pairs show the same relationship. “Sky : blue” and “dirt : brown” describe colors, while the other choices show different relationships.
