Consider the relation schema $$R = \left( {E,\,F,\,G,\,H,\,I,\,J,\,K,L,\,M,\,N} \right)$$ and the set of functional dependencies $$\left\{ {\left\{ {E,F} \right\} \to \left\{ G \right\},\left\{ F \right\}} \right.$$
$$ \to \left\{ {I,J} \right\},\left\{ {E,H} \right\} \to \left\{ {K,L} \right\},\left\{ K \right\}$$
$$ \to \left\{ M \right\},\left\{ L \right\}$$
$$ \to \left. {\left\{ N \right\}} \right\}$$ on $$R.$$ What is the key for $$R?$$

$$\left\{ {E,F} \right\}$$

$$\left\{ {E,F,H} \right\}$$

$$\left\{ {E,\,F,\,H,\,K,\,L} \right\}$$
