Question

An experiment was conducted, and it was determined that plants that received more than two hours of sunlight per day grew larger than plants that received less than two hours of sunlight per day. Which of the following best describes this situation?

A)This is an example of correlation and causation.
B)This is an example of correlation.
C)This is an example of causation.
D)This is not an example of causation or correlation.

Answer 1

C( This is an example of causation

Answer 2

C). This is an example of causation

Explanation:

Causation : It can be defined as the one event is the result of the other event. It is simply the cause and its effect. There is a causal relation between the two events.

Correlation : It can described the direction of the relation between two or more events or variables.

The conclusion of the experiment is that the plant that received more than two hours of sunlight in each day grew more than the plants that received less than two hours of sunlight in each day.

This is the cause of one event and its effect on the other event.

So option C is correct because sunlight causes plants to grow.

So option C). This is an example of causation.
