Malaria : Disease :: Spear: ?

Options

A. Wound
B. Sword
C. Weapon
D. War

Explanation

To solve the analogy "Malaria : Disease :: Spear : ?", we need to identify the relationship between the first pair of words and apply that same relationship to the second pair.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the relationship in the first pair (Malaria : Disease)**:
- Malaria is a specific type of disease. This indicates that the first term (Malaria) is a specific example of the broader category represented by the second term (Disease).

2. **Determine the category for the second pair (Spear : ?)**:
- We need to find a term that represents the broader category to which "Spear" belongs.

3. **Analyze the options**:
- Option 1: Wound - This refers to an injury caused by a spear but does not represent a category.
- Option 2: Sword - This is another type of weapon, but it does not fit the analogy as we are looking for a category.
- Option 3: Weapon - This is a broader category that includes spears among other types of weapons.
- Option 4: War - While spears can be used in war, this does not represent a category that includes spears.

4. **Select the correct answer**:
- The correct answer is **Option 3: Weapon**, as it represents the category that includes "Spear" just as "Disease" includes "Malaria".

### Final Answer:
Spear : Weapon
