Answer should be A because 4 is not in BCNF.In 4, FDs A-->B and B-->A do not hold property of neither trivial nor super key.A and B are not super key since AB is primary key.FDs are nontrivial FDs.

if single relation is there then it will be in bcnf so a and b are in bcnf but c and d are in 3nf becoz determinant is not always key or super key. so answer should be b.

4 will be in bcnf because the closure of a,b and ab will be {a,b,c} and all will become a key.
