Hi Subhrajyoti,

As you know accocunt is a native object so it can not have a Master-Detail relationshipfield created as it can not become a detail to any other master object. You could create Master-Detail ob other object where account can become Master.

Any native object can not become a Detail in Master-Detail relationship. That means you will not find ability to add Master-Detail relationship for any native object.

Thanks

we can not create master-detail relationship on Standard Object like Account, Contact, Lead and Opportunity.

You can achieve similer kind of functionality by creating lookup relationship, make that one as a required field
