E Correct answer
Explanation

A mandatory one-to-one relationship between two entities often indicates they should be combined into a single entity. If they truly must be separate, the mandatory one-to-one constraint suggests the model is missing attributes - there should be additional distinguishing characteristics to justify their separation.
