I am really struggling with this whether the correct answer is C or D? Which of the following statements is true regarding the representation of foreign keys in an Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) using UML notation? A. Foreign keys are explicitly shown as attributes in the entity boxes. B. Foreign keys are represented by dashed lines connecting entities. C. Foreign keys are implicitly represented by the relationships between entities and are not shown as attributes. D. Foreign keys are not used in UML-based ERDs.

Personally, I would pick the option C. The FK is explained in the relationship and thats the reason why it is not shown as attributes. * Note: I might be wrong.
