Wow, these database questions can be so confusing! But I think the answer here is C) One-to-Many (1:M). It just makes sense based on the way the data is structured.

This is a tricky one, but I'm going with C) One-to-Many (1:M). The direction of the arrows indicates that the relationship flows from Department to Employees, not the other way around.

The arrows clearly indicate the flow of the relationship, leading to the conclusion of One-to-Many (1:M).

It's definitely not Many to Many (M:M) or One-to-One (1:1) based on the structure.

I agree, the arrows show that each department can have multiple employees, supporting the One-to-Many relationship.

I see your point, but I still believe it's C) One-to-Many (1:M) because each department can have multiple employees, but each employee is associated with only one department.

Ha! This is easy. It's clearly a One-to-Many (1:M) relationship. The diagram shows that one Department can have multiple Employees, but each Employee is connected to only one Department.

Hmm, the way I see it, this is a Many-to-One (M:1) relationship. Each Department has multiple Employees, but each Employee is associated with only one Department.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be Many-to-One (M:1) since many employees can belong to one department.
