Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option D (Near / Beside)

'उपमा' शब्द 'उप' और 'मा' के योग से बना है। 'उप' का अर्थ 'समीप' तथा 'मा' का अर्थ 'तोलना या देखना' होता है।

The word 'Upama' is derived from 'Upa' (meaning near or beside) and 'Ma' (meaning to measure or evaluate). Hence, 'Upa' means 'near'.
