Answer 2

Option A, correlation, is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term correlation means association. In its simplest way, correlation is a method through which we can measure the degree to which two variables are related to each other. A correlational study can only have three possible results, known as a positive, a negative and no correlation. Correlations evaluate the similarities between the two co-occurring variables in a relationship.
