fetid : squalid ::
  1. disingenuous : forthright
  2. feckless : dynamic
  3. heinous : atrocious
  4. impudent : respectful
Explanation
Answer: Choice (C) is correct.

In the first part of the analogy, the word fetid means rotten, putrid, or squalid. So, look for the answer pair that contains synonyms. In choice (A), disingenuous means insincere or devious, not forthright. In choice (B), feckless means ineffective or incompetent, not dynamic. In choice (D), impudent means rude and impolite, not respectful. In choice (C), heinous is a synonym for atrocious, so that is the correct choice.
