let's delve into relationship behavior and the available options for 1:N and N:1 relationships in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. **Relationship Behavior:** In CRM, relationship behavior defines how records in the related (child) entity behave when the associated record in the primary (parent) entity undergoes certain actions. The available relationship behaviors are: 1. **Referential:** This behavior allows a child record to be associated with a parent record, but it doesn't enforce any specific actions when the parent record is modified or deleted.

It's the reverse of the 1:N relationship, where multiple records point to a common related r
