Solution

If a table is in Third Normal Form (3NF), the following must be true:

  1. It is in 1NF and 2NF: This is because for a table to be in 3NF, it must first satisfy the rules of 1NF and 2NF. 1NF requires that the table has a primary key and that its attributes are atomic, meaning each cell contains unique and indivisible data. 2NF requires that it has no partial dependencies, meaning all non-key attributes must be fully functionally dependent on the primary key.

  2. It has no transitive dependencies: This is the additional rule for 3NF. A transitive dependency occurs when a non-key attribute is functionally dependent on another non-key attribute. In 3NF, all non-key attributes must be directly dependent on the primary key.

  3. All attributes are functionally dependent on the primary key: This is a requirement of both 2NF and 3NF. It means that the value of any attribute in a row can be determined solely by the value of the primary key.

So, the correct answer is "All the Available Options".
