regicide : king ::
  1. feticide : animal
  2. patricide : grandparent
  3. tyrannicide : despot
  4. populicide : ruler
Explanation
Answer: Choice(C) is correct.

In the first half of the analogy, the word regicide means the killing of a king. Therefore, choose the answer choice in which the first word is the term for the killing of the entity named in the second term. In choice (A), feticide is not the killing of an animal, but the killing of a fetus, so eliminate that choice. In choice (B), patricide is the killing of one’s father, not grandparent, so eliminate that choice. In choice (D), populicide is the killing of a population of people, not a ruler, so eliminate that choice. In choice (C), tyrannicide is the killing of a tyrant, dictator, or despot, so that is the correct answer.
