Wait, is this a trick question? I feel like the answer should be 'All of the above' and then they'd give me a penalty for selecting that. Database questions are the worst!

I'm fairly confident that the answer is B. Activity_Fee is partially dependent on the primary key, which is the combination of Student_ID and Activity. Simple as that!

That makes sense, the combination of Student_ID and Activity determines the fee for participating.

I think you're right, Activity_Fee is indeed partially dependent on the primary key.

Ha, these database questions always make my head spin. I'm just going to guess C and hope for the best. The table contains a transitive dependency, right? Or maybe I'm completely off base...

Hmm, this is tricky. I'm debating between B and D, but I think D is the right answer. Activity_Fee is a determinant of both Activity and Student_ID, so the table has a transitive dependency.

I'm leaning towards D as well, it makes sense that Activity_Fee is a determinant of both Activity and Student_ID.

I think B is the correct answer because Activity_Fee is only partially dependent on the primary key.

I agree with you, D seems like the correct answer because Activity_Fee is determined by both Activity and Student_ID.

This question is a classic database normalization problem. I think the correct answer is B - Activity_Fee is partially dependent on the primary key. The primary key is the composite of Student_ID and Activity, so the fee depends on both of those columns.

Exactly, that's why it's considered partially dependent on the primary key.

So, the fee is not solely determined by the activity itself, but also by the student involved.

Yes, that makes sense. The fee would be different for each student participating in each activity.

I'm not sure, but I think C) The table contains a transitive dependency could also be a possibility.

I agree with Aaron, because both Activity and Student_ID are needed to determine the Activity_Fee.
