Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

To efficiently track the attributes of each employee while minimizing duplication and data storage, keeping a single table, Employee, is sufficient. This table can include columns for FirstName, MiddleName, LastName, EmployeeIdentityNumber, Address, Date_of_Hire, Department, Salary, and ManagerIdentityNumber. By including the ManagerIdentityNumber in the same table, it is possible to represent the relationship between employees and their managers without needing additional tables. This approach minimizes complexity and avoids redundancy within the database schema.
