B. The pairs of words lack parallel structure.
In the analogy "drawers : dresser" and "house : rooms," the first pair consists of a part (drawers) and a whole (dresser), while the second pair consists of a whole (house) and parts (rooms). This lack of structural parallelism makes the analogy inconsistent.
