Normalization ________ data duplication.

  • A.
    eliminates
  • B.reduces
  • C.increases
  • D.maximizes

Answer: A

Correct answer: eliminates

Properly normalized tables store each fact once. The repetition of non-key data across rows is exactly what the normal forms are defined to remove, and its absence is what makes update anomalies impossible. Foreign key values do repeat, but they are the links between relations rather than duplicated data in the sense meant here.
