A database designer is refining a relation that has a composite primary key. Some non-key attributes depend only on part of this key, leading to redundancy. Removing such dependencies ensures the relation satisfies a higher normal form. The correct statement describing this transformation is _______.
A relation $R(A, B, C)$ has the following functional dependencies:
$A \to B, B \to C$
If attribute $A$ is known, the value of $C$ can be determined due to:
