BEloquent requires manual SQL joins to fetch related data, increasing query complexity.
CEloquent does not support relationships; you must write raw queries for related data.
DEloquent uses methods like <code>with()</code> to eager load related models, reducing the number of database queries.

Why does this Eloquent query cause a runtime error?
Examine the code below and identify the cause of the error:
Laravel
use App\Models\Post;

$posts = Post::where('published', true)->get();
foreach ($posts as $post) {
    echo $post->author->name;
}
AThe <code>author</code> relationship is not defined in the Post model, causing a null property access error.
BThe <code>published</code> column does not exist, causing a query error.
CThe <code>get()</code> method returns a single model, so foreach fails.
DEloquent does not support accessing related model properties directly.

💡 Hint
Check if the Post model has an author relationship defined.
