Analogy between Wave and Ripples
The given analogy is between two phenomena - Wave and Ripples. The relationship between the two is similar to the relationship between two other phenomena in the answer options. We need to identify the correct option that satisfies the analogy. Let's look at each option one by one.
Option A: Smoke
Smoke is not related to ripples. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option B: Water
Water is the correct option. Ripples are small waves that occur on the surface of water. Similarly, waves occur in the air in the form of sound waves, which is the analogy to air in the given question.
Option C: Storm
Storm is not related to ripples. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option D: Wind
Wind is not related to ripples. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B - Water.
Conclusion
The correct option satisfies the analogy between Wave and Ripples, which is the relationship between two phenomena. Similarly, the option Water is related to Ripples, which is the analogy to Air in the given question. Thus, the correct answer is Water.
