Solution

The statement that is FALSE about keys in a relational database is:

c. A candidate key that is not a primary key is a foreign key.

Explanation:

a. Any candidate key is eligible to become a primary key. - This is TRUE. A candidate key is an attribute or set of attributes that can uniquely identify a tuple in a relation. Any of these candidate keys can be chosen as the primary key.

b. A primary key uniquely identifies the tuples in a relation. - This is TRUE. The primary key is a special kind of candidate key that is chosen to uniquely identify tuples in a relation.

c. A candidate key that is not a primary key is a foreign key. - This is FALSE. A candidate key that is not chosen as the primary key is still a candidate key, not a foreign key. A foreign key is a field in a table that is a primary key in another table. It is used to link the two tables together.

d. A foreign key is an attribute whose value is derived from the primary key of another relation. - This is TRUE. A foreign key is used to ensure referential integrity in the database. It is a field in one table that refers to the primary key in another table.
