Solution

The normal form that is concerned with removing transitive dependencies is the Third Normal Form (3NF).

In database normalization, transitive dependency occurs when a non-prime attribute depends on another non-prime attribute, rather than directly on the primary key. To achieve 3NF, a relation must first satisfy the conditions of the First Normal Form (1NF) and the Second Normal Form (2NF). This means that:

  1. All attributes must contain only atomic (indivisible) values (1NF).
  2. All non-prime attributes must depend on the whole primary key (2NF).

Once these conditions are met, 3NF stipulates that no non-prime attribute should depend on another non-prime attribute. By enforcing this rule, we ensure that the data is more organized, reduces redundancy, and simplifies the data structure, which ultimately leads to a more efficient database.

Thus, the answer you are looking for is 3.
