Answer: B
The sense relation in the pairs cow : animal and rose : flower is hyponymy, where the meaning of the specific word is included in the meaning of the general one. A cow is a kind of animal, and a rose is a kind of flower.
Synonymy is sameness of meaning, antonymy is opposition of meaning, and homonymy is sameness of form with different meanings, so none describes a relation of inclusion. Its opposite, the relation of a general word to its specific kinds, is called hypernymy, so 'animal' is the hypernym of 'cow'.
