In the first half of the analogy, someone who is restive is restless and agitated - on edge. So, look for the answer pair that contains synonyms. In choice (A), something that is monolithic is solidly uniform, not changeable, so eliminate that pair. In choice (B), something that is obligatory is required, not elective or optional, so eliminate that choice. In choice (D), something that is palatable is not only edible, but it is pleasing to the taste. Although these words are related, they do not have the same relationship as the words in the first half of the analogy. In choice (C), something that is fraught is full or weighed down.
