Question

Which situation best represents causation ? A. And individual decision to work in construction and his diagnosis of skin cancer. B. An increase in temperature and the increase in attendance at the local pool center. C. A person's shoe size and their age. D. The number of minutes spent exercising and the number of calories burned.

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

When we talk of causation, we are talking about how something that happened is as a result of something that had earlier happened.

In this case, we want to link what later happened to what has happened before now

Looking at the options, the best answer is the last option.

This is because there is a relationship of direct proportionality between the number of calories burnt and the number of hours used to exercise

What we mean here is that more amount of calories will be burnt with an increase in the number of minutes that was spent exercising
