In the context of agency laws, the types of business relationships that are relevant include Principal-Agent, Employer-Employee, and Master-Servant. The option 'd) Supplier-Customer' is not one of those relationships as the supplier does not act on the customer's behalf.

Agency laws are significant in the context of business because they define the legal relationships where one party, the agent, acts on behalf of another, the principal, in business transactions. These agency laws are relevant to three types of business relationships, which include:

  • Principal-Agent
  • Employer-Employee
  • Master-Servant

Each of these relationships involves an individual or entity (the agent, employee, or servant) acting under the guidance and control of another (the principal, employer, or master). The option that is not one of these three relationships is d) Supplier-Customer. In a supplier-customer relationship, the supplier provides goods or services to the customer but does not act on their behalf, which is a distinguishing feature of agency relationships.
