Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The multiplicities indicate that each cash receipt pays for at least one order, but it could pay for many orders. This means that multiple orders can be paid for using a single cash receipt. Option A is incorrect because the multiplicities do not suggest anything about customers paying in advance. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that orders can result in multiple payments, which is not indicated by the multiplicities. Option D is also incorrect because it suggests that a cash receipt may pay for 0 or 1 order, but the multiplicities indicate that each cash receipt pays for at least one order.
