Correct Answer: B

Question 23 Explanation: 
1. Let’s take a relation R(ABC) with functional dependencies {A → B, B → C, A → C}.
2. In the question it is not mentioned that non-prime attribute is only dependent on primary key.
3. So, the functional dependency B → C, is perfectly valid.
4. This relation is in 2NF but not in 3NF because of every non-key attribute is transitively dependent on the primary key. Here “A” will be a candidate key.
A

B
