Introduction:
In this question, we are given an analogy between "Fish" and "School" and we need to find a similar analogy between two options "Cobras" and "Army", "Whales" and "Army", "Frogs" and "Army", and "Geese" and "Army". We need to select the option that best fits the analogy.

Analogy:
The analogy given in the question is "Fish : School". In this analogy, "Fish" is a collective noun used for a group of fish, and "School" is the specific collective noun used for a group of fish. Similarly, we need to find the correct collective noun for the second part of the analogy, which is "Army".

Options:
Let's analyze each option to determine the correct alternative.

a) Cobras:
The collective noun used for a group of cobras is "Quiver". Therefore, "Cobras : Quiver" is the correct analogy for this option. It does not match the given analogy "Fish : School", so option 'a' is not the correct alternative.

b) Whales:
The collective noun used for a group of whales is "Pod". Therefore, "Whales : Pod" is the correct analogy for this option. It does not match the given analogy "Fish : School", so option 'b' is not the correct alternative.

c) Frogs:
The collective noun used for a group of frogs is "Army". Therefore, "Frogs : Army" is the correct analogy for this option. It perfectly matches the given analogy "Fish : School", so option 'c' is the correct alternative.

d) Geese:
The collective noun used for a group of geese is "Gaggle". Therefore, "Geese : Gaggle" is the correct analogy for this option. It does not match the given analogy "Fish : School", so option 'd' is not the correct alternative.

Conclusion:
After analyzing all the options, we can conclude that the correct alternative that replaces the question mark is option 'c' - Frogs. The analogy "Fish : School" is similar to "Frogs : Army" as both "School" and "Army" are the collective nouns used for groups of fish and frogs, respectively.
