SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Fish

The problem requires us to identify the relationship between the pairs and find a similar connection. We have: Air : Bird and need to find what relates to Water in the same way.

To solve this, analyze the relationship: Birds are creatures that live and move through air. Therefore, we must find what naturally lives or moves through water.

Let's evaluate the options:

OptionRelation to Water
FishFish are creatures that live and move through water.
SwimSwim is an action, not a creature.
WashWash is an action, not related to creatures living in water.
DrinkDrink is an action, unrelated to wildlife inhabiting water.

The correct answer is Fish as it aligns with the relationship: Air is to Bird as Water is to Fish.
