I would say B. E-R diagrams can do quite a bit of the other answers if I recall.

Foreign keys are a way of showing relationships in an E-R diagram.

My answer is E!
E-R diagrams show relationships between data elements. I believe E-R diagrams do not model behaviour. All you do is organize entities (and their attributes) and build relationships (identifying, non-identifying, one-to-one, One-to-many etc) to normalize the entities.

b) has highest probability
< !Entity supersetSubset <br /> "But that does not describe superset-subset relationship.">
(replace &supersetSubset; with the String. Thats the way internal general entities work in xml.)

a) both model abstractions. &supersetSubset;
b) e-r diagrams model data. class diagrams model data as well as behaviour. So its a superset.
c) both might be refined in a physical implementation. &supersetSubset;

d) with class diagramms as well as with e-r diagramms you can model many to many relationsships. &supersetSubset;
e) class diagrams as well e-r diagrams show relationship between data. &supersetSubset;

b) is the correct answer.
