When mapping a ternary relationship with an associative entity into a relation which of the following is true?

  • A.One relation is created.
  • B.Two relations are created.
  • C.Three relations are created.
  • D.Four relations are created.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Four relations are created.

The three participating entities each become a relation, and the associative entity becomes a fourth carrying the three foreign keys as its primary key together with any attributes of the association. The pattern is the same as for a binary many-to-many, which gives three relations for two entities.
