The relationship established in "Caterpillar : Butterfly" is "Young form : Mature form". A caterpillar is the immature form (larva) of a butterfly.

Following this logic, from the given options, a lamb is the young form of a sheep. Therefore, "Lamb : Sheep" follows the same relationship.

As for the other options:

  • "Tadpole : Cat" is incorrect because a tadpole (young form of a frog or toad) does not mature into a cat.
  • "Hen : Chick" and "Deer : Fawn" have the relationship reversed. A chick is a young hen and a fawn is a young deer, so they do not match the initial relationship pattern.

Hence,the correct answer is "Lamb : Sheep".
