leonine means resembling a lion.

So is that the same comparison as Resembling a Lion : A Tiger?

Not quite. Wrong order.

No, it is not B.
OpenStudy (snuggielad):
simian(resembling an ape) : ape
would this be the same as,
ursine(resembling a bear) : bear ?
are both of those words resembling the comparison word?
A lion doesn't resemble a tiger
A fish doesn't resemble a pig.
And B is just backwards to the original.

OpenStudy (snuggielad):
The first word in the example must relate to the second word in the same way that the first word in the answer relates to the second word in the answer.
OpenStudy (snuggielad):
C would be right.
