Answer 1

9. The correct option is C. For correlation or causation to be there, we need two variables, usually called the independent and the dependent variables. Correlation means that there is a relationship between the two variables (positive or negative) where as causation implies cause and effect relationship between the two variables.

In the C sentence, the two variables are rain and washing the car. There might be a relationship between the two but washing the car would not cause rain. It is just coincidental. To check for causation, experiment might be conducted with sampling the data.

In all the other options, there is either only one variable involved or is a mere fact.
