The simplest form of binary relationship is :

a)1:01 am
b)1:N
c)12:01:00 AM
d)recursivE
MY ANSWER IS B ,BUT I AM NOT SURE:)

b is correct. I do not know where the answers 1:01 am and 12:01:00 AM come in.

recursive is definitely not simple (if it exists).
1:N is a normal relationship. If it were N:N, it has to be broken down into two, namely N:1 and 1:N, with an intermediate column in order that the relationship works properly. U hope this rings a bell to what you've already learned.

thank you so much :)

To determine the simplest form of binary relationship among the options given, let's first understand what each option represents:

a) 1:01 am - This is a time notation and not related to binary relationships.
b) 1:N - This represents a one-to-many binary relationship. It means that one element on one side can be associated with multiple elements on the other side.
c) 12:01:00 AM - This is again a time notation and not related to binary relationships.
d) Recursive - Recursive refers to a situation where a function or procedure calls itself during its execution.

Based on the explanations above, it is clear that option b) "1:N" represents the simplest form of binary relationship. This type of relationship is commonly used in database design to indicate that one element can be associated with multiple elements from another entity.

Therefore, your answer of option b) "1:N" is correct as it represents the simplest form of a binary relationship.
