If attributes A and B determine attribute C, then it is also true that
Correct answer: C. (A, B) is a composite determinant
- A. A → C
- B. B → C
- C. (A, B) is a composite determinant

The subject includes primary and foreign keys, normalization, SQL commands such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE, queries, forms and reports, while distinguishing a database from a spreadsheet used for simple tabular data.
