The normal form that is not necessarily dependency preserving is

  • A.2NF
  • B.3NF
  • C.BCNF
  • D.4NF

Answer: A

Correct answer: BCNF

A relation can always be decomposed into third normal form while preserving all its functional dependencies, but a BCNF decomposition sometimes cannot: enforcing one of the original dependencies may require a join. That is the price of BCNF's stronger guarantee, and it is why 3NF is often preferred in practice.
