The answer is 'd'
The hump is part of the camel that has the function of providing it with food and water while travelling in the desert.

B. Part to whole

A snail's shell provides protection, where a Camel's hump provides nourishment, so D is incorrect. Snails and Camels are neither locations nor actions, so both A and C are incorrect. B is correct because shells and humps are parts of the animals, where the snail and the camel are the whole animal.
