Explanation:

Let’s analyze each number-pair:

- (16, 8): 16 ÷ 2 = 8

- (36, 2): 36 ÷ 18 = 2

- (14, 8): No simple multiplication/division/addition/subtraction relationship

- (28, 5): No simple multiplication/division/addition/subtraction relationship

Most pairs show a division/multiplication relationship between the numbers, except (14, 8) and (28, 5). Digging deeper, (16, 8) and (36, 2) involve division by whole numbers; (14, 8) and (28, 5) do not clearly fit that pattern. But 16/8 = 2 and 36/2 = 18 are both whole numbers, while 14/8 and 28/5 are not. Therefore, options 1 and 2 are similar; 3 and 4 are different, but 14,8 stands out as the most unlike the others.

So, the correct answer is:

Option:3, (14, 8)
