Answer:

A. It has an antonym relationship with curious instead of a synonym relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

A synonym is when the words have the same meaning as the other, whereas an antonym means having the opposite meaning. This means that synonyms are similar while antonyms mean opposites.

In the given analogy, "smart" and "clever" are synonyms whereas the analogy of "curious" and "bored" are not. Rather, it is more of an antonym analogy.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
