B) the relation needs to be broken into two or more new relations
C) surrogate keys in the relation may not be correctly linked to other relations
D) the relation needs to have foreign keys added in order to be correctly linked to other relations
E) referential integrity constraints concerning the relation need to be established

This indicates that the relation is well-formed and does not need to be broken down into multiple new relations.
