Answer:

C:It is a strong positive correlation,and it is not likely causal.

Explanation:

Correlation refers to the relationship between the two variables i.e x and y. It has mainly two types of correlation. The first one is positive and the other one is negative. It lied between -1 to 1. The 1 represents the strong positive correlation while the -1 represents the strong negative correlation

Since the correlation coefficient is 0.74 which is nearest to 1 so it denotes the strong positive correlation and thus is not causal

Hence, the correct option is c.
