a study revealed that most orchards that used a new fertilizer harvested peaches with multiple pits. however, orchards that did not use the new fertilizer did not harvest any peaches with multiple pits.
the most reasonable conclusion that can be made from the study is that the new fertilizer
is associated with the growth of peaches with multiple pits, but does not cause it
is not related to the growth of peaches with multiple pits
causes the growth of peaches with multiple pits
prevents the growth of peaches with multiple pits

Explanation:

The study shows a correlation where orchards using the new fertilizer have peaches with multiple - pits and those not using it don't. Just because there is a correlation doesn't mean causation has been proven. But the presence of the relationship indicates an association.

Answer:

is associated with the growth of peaches with multiple pits, but does not cause it
