Answer: Choice (B) is correct.

A protégé is under the patronage of someone who is interested in their welfare. Likewise, in choice (B), a subordinate is under the supervision of someone else, often in a business setting. Choice (A) is incorrect because these are simply synonyms. A neophyte, or novice, is someone who is new to something. A misanthrope is someone who experiences hatred for mankind, but this pair does not have the same relationship as the initial pair in the analogy. A mélange is a mixture; these are synonyms, and do not have the same relationship as the initial pair.
