Ah, the age-old conundrum of departments and employees. If only they had a special room for this kind of thing, we could call it the 'Department of Human Resources'!

Hmm, let's see. Many departments, one employee per department. Sounds like a one-to-many relationship to me. Option D is the way to go, folks!

Option D is the correct answer. The relationship between Department and Employee is one-to-many, as each department can have many employees, but each employee can only work in one department at a time.

I disagree. I believe it should be shown as a many-to-many between Department and Employee, as a department can have many employees and an employee can work in multiple departments.

I agree with Buck. Each employee can only work in one department, so it makes sense to have a one-to-many relationship.
