Correct answer: C
In Entity-Relationship modeling, a weak entity is one that cannot be uniquely identified by its own attributes alone.
It depends on a strong entity for its existence and primary key. This supporting entity is called the identifying owner.
Thus, the entity type on which a weak entity depends is referred to as the identifying owner.
