In this analogy, the relationship between the words is based on their meanings:

${\color{Red} \text{“Eject"}}$ means to expel or force something out.
${\color{Teal}\text{“Insert"} }$ means to put something in or introduce it into something else.

The relationship between the words in the given analogy is that they represent opposite actions.

Now let’s understand each option.

${\color{Blue} \text{“Advent"}}$ means the arrival or the coming of something, which is not the opposite of ${\color{Orange} \text{“Advance."}}$
${\color{Orchid}\text{“Progress"} }$ is not the opposite of ${\color{Orange} \text{“Advance"}},$ as progress implies moving forward towards a goal.
${\color{Emerald}\text{“Retreat"}}$ is the correct option to complete the analogy.
${\color{Magenta}\text{“Loan"} }$ is not related to the given pair of words and doesn't fit the analogy.

Therefore, the word that is the opposite of ${\color{Orange} \text{“Advance"}}$ is ${\color{Emerald}\text{“Retreat"}}.$

Correct Answer: C
