Whale -> Fish seems the obvious answer to me... 
But then sometimes the obvious answer is right.
Frogs and Dinosaurs are both Reptiles
Whales and Fish are both...Fish. 
If it's a size thing, then it could be Mouse.
I think it's the sort of logic question that could have many different correct answers.

Whales are mammals.

Hmm, both dinosaurs and frogs lay eggs...as do snakes...but both mice and whales have live young. I'll go with Mouse.

Frogs and dinos lived on land, but were seperate categories (Amphibians and reptiles)
Whales and fish are swimming creatures, but are seperate categories ( Mammals and Flish )

I was thinking bone structure.
Birds have big wings like whales have those huge "arms", and birds have tiny feet like whales have tiny leg bones inside.
Frogs have smaller forelegs than back legs, like a lot of dinosaurs.
Chu, what about water dinosaurs?

I say bird ... there was a dinosaur that could make very loud noises like that of a frog. Whales sing - he he - so I say birds, it's a sound thing. Just to be different explanation vise.

Im going to say snake for the sole purpose of going against the flow, but I would put my money on mouse.
By the way, frogs are amphibians not reptiles.

Is it anything to do with Jurassic Park?

It is from an aptitude test used by a government agency, so it most likely has nothing to do with Jurassic Park.

I belive it's impossible to draw any parrallels on classification. Size is also out of the question since whales are generarly very large animals. (edit: compared to frogs)
Egg laying seems the most likely relation even though a few snakes actually have live young.

Frogs is classified as Amphibians as far as I know, Dinosaours as Sauropsida.

Amphibians and reptiles are often classified together (and I've always thought amphibians are a subset of reptiles, though I'm actually pretty sure that's untrue) and sauropsida are reptiles.
