Which of the following is TRUE?(a) Every relation in 2NF is also in BCNF(b) A relation R is in 3NF if every non-prime attribute of R is fully functionally dependent on every key of R(c) Every relation in BCNF is also in 3NF(d) No relation can be in both BCNF and 3NFThe question was posed to me in a national level competition.My doubt stems from Materialized Views topic in section Query Processing Techniques of Database Management

Answer»

Correct answer is (c) Every relation in BCNF is ALSO in 3NF

The best I can explain: A relational database table is often DESCRIBED as “normalized” if it is in the THIRD Normal FORM because most of the 3NF tables are free of insertion, UPDATE, and deletion anomalies.
