Q. Unemployed (doesn't have a job to work)  ---> Worker (worker always works, and mostly has a job) --> implies somewhat opposite relationship.

(A) Fallow (uncultivated land to improve fertility of it) ---> Land (is usually cultivated) 

(B) Unaware ---> Sleeper (someone who sleeps is always unaware)

(C) Wit (a message whose ingenuity or verbal skill or incongruity has the power to evoke laughter) ---> Jester (A clown, joker)

(D) Renovated (Make brighter or prettier or better) ---> House (!)

Here only (A) shows somewhat opposite relationship, and hence is the answer.

@toxicdesire Why not B? "unaware" also has a negative sense, like unemployed and fallow.

It would be negative and correct, if it were Aware ---> Sleeper. 

It isn't.

Analogy :
A worker who is unemployed is unproductive just as a land which is fallow is unproductive

Unemployed → doesn't have a job to work 

 Fallow → uncultivated land to improve its fertility.

 

 Unaware and Sleeper (someone who sleeps is always unaware)

 Wit → A message whose ingenuity or verbal skill or incongruity has the power to evoke laughter.

Jester → A clown, joker

Unaware and Sleeper (someone who sleeps is always unaware)

 Wit → A message whose ingenuity or verbal skill or incongruity has the power to evoke laughter.

Jester → A clown, joker

so that answer is (A)
