Ursa Major Solar (UMS) is planning to hire some new employees.

UMS wants each Application to connect both to a Job Candidate and an Open Position, where:

One Job Candidate can apply for multiple Open Positions.

One Open Position can receive multiple Applications.This is a many-to-many relationship, which in Salesforce is implemented by using a junction object.

In this case, Application__c serves as the junction object between Job_Candidate__c and Open_Position__c.

Exact Extract:

“To create a many-to-many relationship, create two master-detail relationships on the junction object. Each master-detail relationship links the junction object to one of the objects you want to relate.” — Salesforce Help | Create a Many-to-Many Relationship

Step 1: On Application__c, create a Master-Detail relationship to Job_Candidate__c (Answer C).

Step 2: On Application__c, create a Master-Detail relationship to Open_Position__c (Answer D).

This setup allows:

Viewing all Applications related to a given Job Candidate.

Viewing all Applications related to a given Open Position.
