Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Final evaluation: Statement I is false; Statement II and Statement III are true.

  • Statement I: This is false. A composite attribute can be divided into smaller subparts. Example: an Address attribute can be split into Street, City, and Zip.

  • Statement II: This is true. A complex attribute can be formed by nesting composite and multivalued attributes (for example, a contact attribute that is multivalued and whose entries are themselves composite).

  • Statement III: This is true. A derived attribute's values are computed from other attribute(s), for example Age derived from Birthdate.

Conclusion: The correct evaluation is that Statement I is false while Statement II and Statement III are true.
