D.

Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

A correlation co-efficient is a measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables, such as intelligence and scores. A correlation co-efficient can range from -1 to 1, where -1 indicates a perfect negative relationship, 0 indicates no relationship, and 1 indicates a perfect positive relationship12. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a procedure that tests whether the means of two or more groups are significantly different from each other, such as the performance of students across various locations. ANOVA can compare the variation within each group and the variation between groups to determine if there is a statistically significant difference among the group means34.
