carnivore : lion ::
  1. herbivore : tiger
  2. piscivore : penguin
  3. granivore : reptile
  4. omnivore : beetle
Explanation
Answer: Choice (B) is correct.

A lion is a carnivore, which means it is a meat-eater. Therefore, the relationship between the two words is categorical - lions are a type of carnivore. Eliminate choice (A), because tigers are not herbivores, or plant-eaters. Eliminate choice (C), because granivores are grain-eating animals, and reptiles do not eat grains. Eliminate choice (D), because an omnivore eats everything - plants and meat. Choice (B) is correct, because penguins are piscivores, or fish-eating.
