4. Demagogue : Populace

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
MAVERICK = person who does not follow rules/conformity
So relation = opposite
Iconoclast : Tradition
Iconoclast = one who breaks traditions [Opposite relationship]
Dilettante : Amateur (similar meaning)
Ascetic : Monastic (related, not opposite)
Demagogue : Populace (leader–people relation)
Altruist : Benefactor (similar meaning)
Hence the correct answer is option 4.
