B Correct answer
Explanation

Relational databases use logical relationships through foreign keys and references, NOT physical pointers. The entire point of the relational model is to abstract away physical storage details - tables are related logically through key values, not memory addresses or physical pointers. Network databases or hierarchical databases use physical pointers, which is what the relational model was designed to avoid.
