In the given analogy, Carbon is related to Diamond. Both Carbon and Diamond are different forms of the same element (Carbon in a different structure forms Diamond). Similarly, Corundum is a mineral, and one of its forms is Ruby. Therefore, the correct relationship is:

Carbon : Diamond :: Corundum : Ruby

Thus, the correct answer is Ruby, as it is the gemstone form of Corundum, just like Diamond is the gemstone form of Carbon.

The relationship between "Wheel" and "Hub" is that the "Hub" is the central part of the "Wheel." Similarly, the "Axis" is the central part around which the "Earth" rotates. Just as a wheel rotates around its hub, the Earth rotates around its axis.
