Consider the relation R(A,B,C,D) with FDs A -> B, C -> D, AD -> C, BC -> A. Check for both BCNF and 3NF status. Which of the following is the most accurate summary of the results?


R is in BCNF and 3NF. No normalization is necessary.


R is in 3NF but not in BCNF. We should try normalizing to BCNF, but this results in information being lost. As such, we stay with the original schema.


R is in BCNF but not in 3NF. Since BCNF is the stricter normalization standard we do not need to normalize further.


R is in neither BCNF nor 3NF. We need to normalize until the relations are in BCNF and/or 3NF.
