D. A

Answer

To solve the analogy question, we need to identify the relationship between the first pair of words: "SOLDIERS" and "ARMY".

1. **Understanding the relationship**:
- Soldiers are individual members of a larger group known as an army.
- In other words, an army is a collective term for a group of soldiers.

2. **Finding the corresponding term for musicians**:
- Now, we need to find a collective term that describes a group of musicians, similar to how "army" describes a group of soldiers.

3. **Analyzing the options**:
- A. FLOCK: This term usually refers to a group of birds or sheep, not musicians.
- B. GANG: This term can refer to a group of people, but it is not specifically related to musicians.
- C. COLONY: This term typically refers to a group of animals or people living together, but again, it does not relate specifically to musicians.
- D. BAND: This is a term that specifically refers to a group of musicians who play together.

4. **Conclusion**:
- The relationship between "SOLDIERS" and "ARMY" is mirrored in the relationship between "MUSICIANS" and "BAND". Therefore, the correct answer is D. BAND.

**Final Answer**: D. BAND
