Answer»

The CORRECT ANSWER is (d) Each attribute in X-Y is a candidate key for R

To elaborate: Each attribute in X-Y is a candidate key for R is not a NECESSARY CONDITION for the third normal form in the case of X →Y. X→Y is trivial and X is the superkey of R are necessary conditions for the third normal form.
