Why each option
This question describes a specific type of table relationship in ServiceNow where records from two tables are mutually visible in related lists.
A Database View is a virtual table created by joining data from two or more existing tables for reporting, not a relationship type that defines bi-directional related lists.
A Many-to-Many relationship (M2M) in ServiceNow allows multiple records from one table to be associated with multiple records from another table, and vice-versa, ensuring related records are visible as related lists on forms of both associated tables.
A One-to-Many relationship defines that one record in the parent table can be associated with multiple records in the child table, but related lists primarily show child records on the parent form, not bi-directionally on both.
'Extended' refers to a table inheritance relationship where a table inherits fields and properties from a parent table, not a bi-directional related list relationship between two distinct tables.
