Solution

All of the above

Explanation:

A candidate key in a database is a unique identifier - it is a column, or set of columns, that can identify a row in a table uniquely.

  1. EmployeeID: This could be a candidate key if each EmployeeID is unique to each employee.
  2. Email: This could also be a candidate key if each employee has a unique email address.
  3. PhoneNumber: This could be a candidate key if each employee has a unique phone number.

So, all of the above (EmployeeID, Email, and PhoneNumber) could be considered as candidate keys if they are unique for each employee.
