Explanatory Answer

Method of solving this CAT Verbal Ability Question from Analogy question

Option B is correct. Paradigm is an example or a model for something. So a pattern can be a type of paradigm. Method and system have a similar relation to each other just as there can be various methods of a particular process, and a system of doing it. None of the other pairs have a similar relation.
