Answer 1

Hint: The words given above separated by a colon is used in such a way that there is an inter-relationship between the two words. All the words in the examples are also connected but the relationship is different for different words. Hence, we need to understand which of the following examples matches the one with the question.

Complete step by step answer:
1. The first option is 'Biography: Life'. The relationship between the words can be explained as biography is written about life.A person writes the life events of himself or another person and it is called the biography.
2. The second option is 'Cartoon:Newspaper'. Cartoons are included in a newspaper and it is not necessary that the cartoon is an inevitable part of the newspaper. It is used to explain any scenario or occurrence with a pinch of satire.
3. The third option 'Canvas:Easel' has established a relationship of reliance between the two words. Canvas is placed on an easel and it makes it easy to work on the canvas then. On the other hand, there is no such use of an easel without the canvas.
4. The fourth example is, 'Ventriloquism :Voice'. Ventriloquism is an art of speaking without facial movements (movement of the lips). The voice comes out of the mouth without any facial movements. Therefore, it establishes a relationship that ventriloquism is a way the voice comes out.
5. In the last option, 'Anthem:Song', Anthem is a type or genre of song.
6. Similarly, landscape is a type of painting. There are two types of painting in a broad perspective, one is portrait and the other is landscape. Hence, we can see that there is a similar kind of relationship established between Anthem: song and landscape: painting.
7. Therefore, the last option is correct.

Thus, Option D is correct.
