MULTILATED is to DAMAGED as A) Built is to Shattered? B) Charred is to Burned? or C) Hurt is to Cried?

I say the answer is-


C) Hurt is to Cried.





Reasoning:


If you Mutilate something, you cause it to become Damaged


If you Hurt someone, you (can) cause them to Cry





Where as if you Char something, you don't cause it to become Burned


(if you burn something, you cause it to become charred)

MULTILATED is to DAMAGED as A) Built is to Shattered? B) Charred is to Burned? or C) Hurt is to Cried?
I think it is C - hurt is to cried.
Reply:B because...


charred is a severe form of being burned such as mutilated is a severe form of being damaged
Reply:B: charred is to burned
Reply:Charred is to burned.
Reply:charred is to burned
Reply:b. both of the words in each analogy mean the same thing.
