The logic follows here is:

Let (1st word : 2nd word)

⇒ 1st word is "name of the animal" and 2nd word is "the name of the group of that animal".

On checking each option we get:

1) Sheep : Lamb

→ The group of 'Sheeps' is called 'Herd', while 'Lamb' is the young sheep. Thus, it is odd.

2) Cattle : Herd

→ The group of 'Cattle' is called 'Herd'.

3) Monkeys : Troop

→ The group of 'Monkeys' is called 'Troop'.

4) Bees : Hive

→ The group of 'Bees' is called 'Hive'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Sheep : Lamb".
