Specifically between an individual unit and others that can replace it in a given sequence is
Answer: B
The relation between a unit and the other units that could replace it in the same slot of a sequence is a paradigmatic relationship (Saussure's associative relation). In 'The cat sat', cat can be replaced by dog or man, and these alternatives form a paradigm.
