Discussion

Answer: B
Correct answer: True
This is the multivalue problem, and it is a first normal form violation: a cell must hold a single value. Several telephone numbers or skills packed into one cell cannot be searched, sorted or counted reliably, and the remedy is to move the repeating values into a separate table with one row for each.
