Normalization is used to minimize redundancy from a set of relations. It is used to organize data effectively in the database. Normal forms are used to reduce redundancy from the database.
Third Normal form: A relation is said to be in third normal form if it is in 2NF & there must not exist any transition dependency.
Also, it must satisfy these properties:
1. For the function A → B, A should be a super key.
2. B should be a part of a key attribute or prime attribute i.e. B should be a part of a candidate key.
BCNF: A relation is said to be in Boyce-Codd normal form (BCNF) if it is in 3NF & must satisfy this property:
1. For the function A → B, A should be a super key.
Assume a relation R(ABC) with the following functional dependencies:
A(ABC)
{AB → C,C → A}
Candidate keys are AB and BC.
AB → C is in BCNF but C → A not in BCNF.
So, the statement which is false is "Relation with every attribute is prime always in BCNF".
Hence, the correct option is (C).
