In a hierarchical model, the way to access data is by following a predefined data path. This means that there is a specific structure or hierarchy that must be followed to get to certain pieces of data. Links between related records are also implicit, but this is not unique to the hierarchical model. The other two options are incorrect because a parent record can own multiple child records (option C is incorrect), and a child record can have only one parent (option D is incorrect).
