ITPEC IP October 2020 — Question 27 of 100

Normalization analyzes dependencies among fields and decomposes tables to reduce duplication and prevent update inconsistencies. Properly normalized relations store each fact in an appropriate place, avoiding anomalies during insertion, modification, and deletion.

Answer (c)

Why not others:
- a join combines related rows from tables for a query

- projection selects particular columns from a relation

- exclusive control coordinates concurrent access so conflicting updates do not occur

Key rule: Normalization is a design activity; joins and projections are data operations, while exclusive control manages concurrency.
