Consider the relation enrolled (student, course) in which (student, course ) is the primary key, and the relation Paid (student, amount) where student is the primary key. Assume no null values and no foreign keys or integrity constraints. Assume that amounts $$6000, 7000, 8000,9000$$ and $$10000$$ were each paid by $$20$$% of the students. Consider these query plans (Plan $$1$$ on left, Plan $$2$$ on right) to ''List all courses taken by students who have paid more than $$x''$$.

A relation Empdt $$1$$ is defined with attributes empcode (unique), name, street, city, state and pincode. For any pincode, there is only one city and state. Also, for any given street city and the state, there is just one pincode. In normalization terms, Empdt$$1$$ is a relation in
A
$$1NF$$ only
B
$$2NF$$ and hence also in $$1NF$$
C
$$3NF$$ and hence also in $$2NF$$ and $$1NF$$
D
$$BCNF$$ and hence also in $$3NF,$$ $$2NF$$ and $$1NF$$
