Best Answer Explained in Below-:

In the original pair, PRUNE and HEDGE, the relationship is that of a specific action applied to a living plant element. Pruning involves trimming back unused or overgrown parts of a hedge to maintain its health and shape. In this context, pruning is a specialized form of cutting that is beneficial to the plant.

Now, examining the options, the correct choice is B) trim : hair. The relationship here mirrors that of pruning and hedges. Trimming is the action taken to shorten or shape hair, much like pruning is to a hedge. Just as pruning maintains the health and aesthetics of a hedge, trimming serves a similar purpose for hair, ensuring it looks good and remains healthy.

The other options do not convey this specific relationship of an action applied directly to an element that requires maintenance or care:
- A) shuck : corn pertains to removing husks, not a maintenance action.
- C) cut : bouquet lacks the direct maintenance aspect.
- D) reap : crop refers to harvesting rather than maintenance.

Thus, trim : hair is the most appropriate analogy, establishing a consistent relationship of care and maintenance between the action and the object in both pairs.
