corporeal : body
  1. meningeal : mind
  2. osteal : brain
  3. arboreal : trees
  4. boreal : south
Explanation
Answer: Choice (C) is correct.

Corporeal means ‘of the body’, so search for the pair in which the first term is descriptive of the second. In choice (A), meningeal does not have to do with the mind, but with the covering of the brain, so eliminate that choice. In choice (B), osteal has to do with bones or the skeleton, not the brain. In choice (D), boreal means ‘related to the north’, not the south. Therefore, the correct choice is (C). Arboreal means having to do with trees.
