D. assemble : dismantle :: absorb : expel
This analogy is showing a relationship of opposites, which means it is illustrating an antonym relationship. To assemble something is to put it together, while to dismantle is to take it apart. Similarly, to absorb something is to take it in, and to expel is to cast it out. Both pairs show a clear antonym relationship, with the second term being the opposite of the first.
