Answer: c. g may cause h

Explanation:

Correlation: It represents the relation between any two or more than two variable.

Causation: It is a kind of correlation where one variable if affected by the other variable.

Therefore , Causation implies correlation.

But correlation does not imply causation.

Hence, if there were a strong correlation between the variables g and h, then g may cause h.
