Verified Answer
A. Manufacturing
B. Earthing
C. Replenishment
D. Agriculture

Explanation:

The given analogy is 'Ploughing : Aeration'. Ploughing is the process of tilling the soil, and its primary effect or purpose is to aerate the soil, meaning to introduce air into it. So, the relationship is 'Action : Effect'.\nNow we need to find a word that has a similar 'Action : Effect' relationship with 'Manuring'. Manuring is the process of adding manure or fertilizers to the soil.\nOption (1) Manufacturing: This refers to the process of making goods, which is unrelated to manuring.\nOption (2) Earthing (खोदना): This means digging, which is a physical action, but not the direct beneficial effect of manuring.\nOption (3) Replenishment: Manuring helps to replenish or restore the nutrients in the soil, making it more fertile. This aligns perfectly with the 'Action : Effect' relationship.\nOption (4) Agriculture: This is the broad field of farming, not a specific effect of manuring.\nTherefore, just as ploughing leads to aeration, manuring leads to replenishment of soil nutrients. The correct option is (3) Replenishment.
