Answer
Correct Answer: Path : Highway
Explanation
Introduction / Context:A brook is a small natural watercourse; a river is the larger counterpart. The roadway analogue is a path (small) to a highway (large).
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- Pen : Paper — Tool-to-medium, different category.
- Yard : Alley — Yard is an area; alley is a passage; not scale variants of one category.
- Vein : Artery — Different vessel types; not merely size variants.
- None of these — invalid since a correct pair exists.
Final Answer:Path : Highway
