The Correct Option is D
Approach Solution - 1
The first pair, Hilt: Sword, refers to a part of the sword. Outwork, which refers to a section or extension, is logically compared to Fortress. A fortress is a structure or component of defense, similarly to how the hilt is a part of the sword. Hence, the correct answer is a fortress. Thus, the correct answer is (D) Fortress.

Approach Solution -2
Defining the second word in each pair precisely, rather than guessing from a general sense of "structure," makes the part-to-whole relationship clear.
- Option A (Hippodrome): A hippodrome is a stadium for chariot or horse races, an independent structure in its own right, not a defensive component attached to something larger, so it does not fit an "outwork" pairing.
- Option B (Field): A field is open, undefended ground, the opposite of a fortified defensive structure, so it cannot be what an outwork belongs to.
- Option C (Rink): A rink is a surface for skating, unrelated to fortification, so this does not match either.
- Option D (Fortress): An outwork is, by definition, an outer defensive structure built beyond the main walls of a fortress to protect it, making it a part of the fortress's overall defense, exactly as a hilt is the handle-part attached to and belonging to a sword.
- Option E: No text is provided for this option.
Since an outwork is literally a defensive part built as an extension of a fortress, the pairing that matches Hilt : Sword is Outwork : Fortress.
Hence, the correct answer is (D) Fortress.
