Pretty sure it’s A too, since Contacts can exist even without an Account linked, which rules out master-detail. Lookup fits best here. So, I’d go with A.

It’s A because Contacts have a standard lookup to Accounts, letting them exist without one. Master-detail would force Contacts to be deleted if the Account’s deleted, which isn't the case here.

Probably A, because Contacts can be standalone, so not true master-detail.

A, since Contacts can exist without Accounts, so it’s not master-detail.

Maybe C here, since Contacts are usually tightly linked to Accounts and can’t exist without them, which feels like master-detail to me.

It’s A. Lookup, since Contacts can be linked to Accounts but aren’t tightly controlled like in master-detail.
