Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
This is a "negative form of" analogy. A STIGMA (mark or sign of disgrace) is an unwanted DESIGNATION. Similarly, a predicament (difficult situation) is an unwanted circumstance.

E. falsehood : lie, as it represents a similar relationship to "DESIGNATION : STIGMA," where the first word represents a label or identification associated with something, and the second word represents a negative perception or label associated with that thing.
