The best pair of words to complete the analogy is **B. practical : thrifty**.
Both "eager" and "enthusiastic" express a similar feeling of being excited or keen, just as "practical" and "thrifty" both imply a sensible, resourceful approach, often related to managing resources wisely. The other pairs do not demonstrate a similar relationship.
