A Correct answer
Explanation

A recursive relationship occurs when an entity is related to itself, such as an employee who manages other employees (both are the same Employee entity type). This is also called a self-referencing relationship. The relationship connects instances of the same entity type to each other, forming hierarchies or networks within a single entity.
