Explanation

Account and Contact share a Lookup relationship in Salesforce. In a Lookup relationship, the child record (Contact) can exist independently without being linked to a parent (Account), and deleting an Account does not automatically delete its related Contacts. A Master-Detail relationship would require a Contact to always have an Account and would cascade-delete Contacts if the Account were deleted - which is not how standard Salesforce behaves. A Self relationship links records of the same object to each other (e.g., a Contact reporting to another Contact).
