Correct answer & explanation
✓
Relationships can be established as Many-to-One (N:1) or One-to-One (1:1).

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Relationships can be established as Many-to-One (N:1) or One-to-One (1:1).
Why this is correct
Data Cloud supports N:1 and 1:1 relationships between DMOs.
- ✗
Standard DMOs cannot participate in relationships with custom DMOs.
Why it's wrong here
Custom DMOs can easily be related to standard DMOs (like Individual).
- ✗
Relationships between DMOs can only be established using SQL queries in Calculated Insights.
Why it's wrong here
Relationships are defined natively in the Data Model canvas, not exclusively through Calculated Insight SQL.
- ✗
Many-to-Many (N:N) relationships can be created directly between any two DMOs without a junction object.
Why it's wrong here
Direct N:N relationships are not supported without using bridging or junction methodologies/objects.
- ✓
The foreign key in the child object must match the data type of the primary key in the parent object.
Why this is correct
Data type compatibility between foreign and primary keys is mandatory for relationship creation.
