Question

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

a. there is a predisposition toward both smoking and lung cancer
b. there is a relationship between smoking and lung cancer
c. smoking contributes to lung cancer
d. smoking causes lung cancer

Explanation:

The research only shows that smokers are more likely to get lung - cancer, indicating a relationship. It doesn't prove causation (smoking causes cancer) or a predisposition for both. Just because there's a higher likelihood doesn't mean smoking contributes in a causal way, only that there's an association.

Answer:

B. there is a relationship between smoking and lung cancer
