A. Relation in terms of the database in simple language means a table or a collection of tuples(rows) and attributes(columns) having some inter-related data value.

B. A relational database is the collection of data items with predefined relation between them. In a simple language, one can understand it as the collection of relations(tables) storing some interlinking data which is connected together using some primary or foreign key.

C. An unnormalized relation is a structure in which entities need not be single-valued but that satisfies all the other properties of a relation so yes it is a relation.

D. The table's primary key is the field or fields that uniquely identify a given row within the table.
