research shows that people who smoke cigarettes are more likely to get lung cancer than those who do not smoke. this research alone demonstrates that ______.
○ there is a relationship between smoking and lung cancer
○ there is a predisposition toward both smoking and lung cancer
○ smoking contributes to lung cancer
○ smoking causes lung cancer
clear selection

Explanation:

The research states smokers are more likely to get lung cancer than non - smokers. This shows an association (relationship) between the two. A predisposition would imply a common underlying factor for both, but the research only shows a link between smoking and lung cancer, not a common predisposition. To say smoking contributes or causes lung cancer requires more evidence (like experimental studies, ruling out confounding factors), while the given research just shows a relationship (correlation).

Answer:

A. there is a relationship between smoking and lung cancer
