Answer 1

G may cause H

Explanation:

I just did the test right now and I got it correct :)

Answer 2

G may cause H.

Explanation:

Correlation between variables does not imply casuality, since there could be a third variable which is the cause of both ( for example, the color of hair and the blood pressure might be correlated because the variable Age of the person causes white hair and high blood pressure when the person is old ). Correlation just means that a variable on average increases when the other one does.
