what about vowels :s

It is monogolia because of the vowels. The reason being is that France has two vowels and Europe has four, and China has two vowels and mongolia has four.

Asia should have been left out of the choices if Mongolia is the answer. Otherwise there is no clue this is not in fact a geographical question and this is not an IQ question but a form of "what number am I thinking of" question.

Any answer could be correct:
France is to Europe as China is to Asia - geography
France is to Europe as China is to Africa - France and Europe have six letters each; China and Africa have five.
France is to Europe as China is to Mongolia - the vowel count thing

Given enough time I'm sure I could come up with something for Oz and HK as well. So how are you supposed to guess what the questioner was thinking, and how exactly do you know he wasn't thinking of letter count?

Mongolia
Could be that before europe turned in to seperate countries. Europe then turnes to france and all of those, and mongolia turns to china and all of those

Presented only as a "standard" analogy, one looks for relationships.

From that perspective, the answer is d - country to continent.

The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.
