Correct answer: A
A relation is in 1NF (First Normal Form) if every field contains only atomic values, meaning no repeating groups or multi-valued attributes. This ensures that each cell in the table holds a single value, which is the basic requirement for normalization. The given condition directly matches the definition of 1NF.
