In which of the following normal forms, any repeating group from the table is removed
Correct answer: B. 2NF
- A. TNF
- B. 2NF
- C. 3NF
- D. 4NF
Explanation
2NF (Second Normal Form) is the correct answer. A table is in 2NF if it adheres to 1NF (all atomic values) and eliminates partial dependencies. A partial dependency occurs when a non-key attribute depends on only a part of the primary key. By removing repeating groups, 2NF ensures data integrity and reduces redundancy

About Databases
Databases cover tables, records, fields, keys and relationships, together with database management systems and relational database design. 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.
