    In a database, a field title refers to the name given to a specific category or attribute of data. It helps to identify and organize the information stored in the database.

    Explanation
    The Lookup Wizard field type should be used when you want the user of the database to choose one entry from a list of four items. The Lookup Wizard allows you to create a dropdown list or a combo box that displays the available options for the user to choose from. This ensures that the user can only select one item from the list, providing a more controlled and accurate input for the database.

    An input mask is a good way to format all of the above types of numbers (zip codes, telephone numbers, and social security numbers). An input mask is a predetermined pattern that is applied to an input field, allowing the user to enter data in a specific format. In the case of zip codes, telephone numbers, and social security numbers, input masks can be used to ensure that the numbers are entered correctly and consistently, following the required format for each type of number.

    Correct Answer
    A. ONE-TO-ONE RELATIONSHIPS
    Explanation
    This answer is correct because a one-to-one relationship occurs when there is exactly one record in the first table that corresponds to exactly one record in the related table. In this type of relationship, each record in one table is associated with only one record in the other table, and vice versa. It is a unique and direct relationship between the two tables, ensuring that each record has a single, specific match in the other table.
