Answer:

The answer is foreign key.

Step-by-step explanation:

Foreign key is a relational database table known for matching the primary key in once column to another table (provide link for data in two different tables). This is achieved by ensuring there is a tuple in the other relation projected over those same attributes such that the values in each of the referencing attributes match the corresponding values in the referenced attributes.
