Relation $$R$$ is decomposed using a set of functional dependencies, $$F,$$ and relation $$S$$ is decomposed using another set of functional dependencies, $$G.$$ One decomposition is definitely $$BCNF,$$ the other is definitely. $$3NF,$$ but it is not known which is which. To make a guaranteed identification, which one of the following tests should be used on the decompositions? (Assume that the closures of $$F$$ and $$G$$ are available).
A
Dependency-preservation
B
Lossless-join
C
$$BCNF$$ definition
D
$$3$$ $$NF$$ definition
