In a query’s Design View, right-clicking the sloping portion of the join line between two tables and selecting Delete will delete what? A. The join line but not the relationship between the two tables B. The relationship between the two tables locally C. The relationship between the two tables globally D. The primary key of the first table

The correct answer is: A. The join line but not the relationship between the two tables.

When you right-click the sloping portion of the join line between two tables in a query’s Design View and select Delete, the join line will be deleted, but the relationship between the two tables will remain. This is because the relationship is stored in the database schema, not in the query itself.

The join line is a visual representation of the relationship between two tables in a query. It shows which columns from each table are used to join the tables together. When you delete the join line, the query will no longer be able to join the tables together, but the relationship between the tables will still exist.

If you want to delete the relationship between two tables, you need to delete the join line and then delete the relationship from the database schema. You can do this by right-clicking the relationship in the Database Diagram window and selecting Delete.

Here is a brief explanation of each option:

• Option A: The join line but not the relationship between the two tables. This is the correct answer. When you right-click the sloping portion of the join line between two tables in a query’s Design View and select Delete, the join line will be deleted, but the relationship between the two tables will remain.
• Option B: The relationship between the two tables locally. This is incorrect. The relationship between the two tables is stored in the database schema, not in the query itself. Deleting the join line will not delete the relationship between the two tables.
• Option C: The relationship between the two tables globally. This is incorrect. The relationship between the two tables is stored in the database schema, not in the query itself. Deleting the join line will not delete the relationship between the two tables.
• Option D: The primary key of the first table. This is incorrect. The primary key of a table is a column or set of columns that uniquely identifies each row in the table. Deleting the join line will not affect the primary key of the first table.
