Solution
Anachronism: Time
Explanation:
Malapropism means. The mistaken use of a word in place of a similar sounding one, often with an amusing effect (e.g. 'dance a flamingo' instead of flamenco). Therefore it is related to words. In the same way, anachronism means; A thing belonging or appropriate to a period other than that in which it exists, especially a thing that is conspicuously old-fashioned. This is related to time. Therefore the option brings out the correct relationship with the given pair.
