Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Index

    Why it's wrong here

    Indexes are for performance, not data integrity.

  • Primary Key

    Why it's wrong here

    This ensures uniqueness and identity, not referential integrity between tables.

  • Unique Constraint

    Why it's wrong here

    This ensures uniqueness of column values, not table-to-table relationships.

  • Foreign Key

    Why this is correct

    Foreign keys maintain the relationship and referential integrity between tables.
