    What is the purpose of Normalization in database design?          

    A Reducing the size of data Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Minimizing data redundancy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Increasing the speed of data retrieval Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Improving data security Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Enhancing user interface design Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Normalization is a process in database design used to minimize data redundancy and ensure data integrity by organizing data into related tables. It helps eliminate redundant data, which in turn reduces anomalies during data updates, insertions, and deletions. a) While normalization might reduce data size indirectly, its primary goal is to minimize redundancy. c) Normalization may sometimes slow down data retrieval due to table joins. d) Data security is managed by other methods, not normalization. e Normalization is unrelated to user interface design.
