Question

Which situation best represents causation?

HELP PLEASE!!!!

A.when the number of bus stops increases, the number of car sales decreases.
B.when fewer firefighters report to a house fire, the damage caused by the fire decreases.
C.when ice cream sales increases, incidents of sunburn increases.
D.when it rains several inches, the water level of a lake increases

Answer 1

I think the answer here would be D. When it rains several inches, the water level of the lake increases, because the word Causation means: the relationship between cause and effect; causality. If it rains a lot, it will cause the lake to increase.

Answer 2

Answer: D.when it rains several inches, the water level of a lake increases

Explanation:

• Causation indicates a relationship between two quantities where one quantity is directly affected by the other.

i.e. There should be a direct link between the variables.

From all the given options, option D represents causation since the occurrence of rain several inches is increasing the water level.

i.e water level is effected by rain, which is true.
