Why each option

The Incident table is extended from the Task table, meaning it inherits fields and properties from the Task table and builds upon them.

AIncident table has a one to many relationship with the Task table

This is incorrect; the relationship is not a direct one-to-many from Incident to Task in that direction.

BIncident table has a many to many relationship with the Task table

This is incorrect; the relationship is not many-to-many.

CIncident table is related to the Task table via the INC number

While Incident records have an INC number, this describes a field, not the structural relationship between the tables.

DIncident table is a database view of the Task table

The Incident table is a concrete table with its own records, not a database view of the Task table.

EIncident table is extended from Task tableCorrect

In ServiceNow, the Task table is a base table that provides common fields and functionality (like state, priority, and assignment) for various service management applications. The Incident table extends the Task table, inheriting all its attributes and then adding fields specific to incident management, establishing an "is a" relationship where an Incident "is a" Task.
