To answer this question, we need to understand the relationship between the words "perish" and "survive" and find a similar relationship with the word "retreat."

The word "perish" means to die or come to an end, while "survive" means to continue living or remain alive. These two words are antonyms or opposites of each other.

Similarly, we need to find a word that is the opposite of "retreat" in the same way that "survive" is the opposite of "perish."

The correct answer is:

D) advance

Explanation: The word "retreat" means to withdraw or move back, while "advance" means to move forward or make progress. These two words are also antonyms or opposites of each other, just like "perish" and "survive." Therefore, "retreat" is to "advance" in the same way that "perish" is to "survive."
