Evaluating Options

Let's examine the relationship in each option:

  • Hospital : Bed: This pair represents a place (Hospital) and an item commonly found within it (Bed). This is not the same relationship as place and primary occupant.
  • Judge : Court: This pair represents a role (Judge) and a place of work (Court). It doesn't match the 'place : occupant' structure.
