The logic followed here is:

  1. Nest – Bird - A bird typically builds or finds a nest to live in and raise its young.

  2. Palace – King - A king is a monarch who typically resides in a palace, which is a grand, impressive building.

  3. Cottage – Peasant - A peasant is a member of a low social class who typically lives in a simple, rural dwelling like a cottage.

  4. Lion – Den - Lions do live in dens, this word pair is different from the others because it doesn't involve a living being and their dwelling place, but rather a living being and their dwelling place. Here, the sequence of analogy is not followed.

So, 'Lion–Den' is odd among the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
