Misogyny : women :: A.
divest : property

B.
pathological : disease

C.
progeny : children

D.
misogamy : marriage

Answers

Misogyny is the hatred or discrimination against women, so your answer should be two words that have that relationship.
You know that A is not correct because divest means to take away possessions, and that isn't hatred against property.
You know that B is not correct because pathological means relating to disease, not hatred to disease.
Finally, you know that C can't be the right answer because progeny means descendants, not hatred of children.

Misogamy is the hatred of marriage, so D is your answer.
Misogyny is a hatred of women, and misogamy is a hatred of marriage, so "D. misogamy : marriage" is correct.
