Which of the following is true about correlation and causation? a. two events that happen at the same time cannot be causally related or correlated. b. historical narratives can be built around correlated events, but not causal relationships. c. studying causation provides a clearer picture of historical events than studying correlation. d. determining causation is a necessary step historians take before proving correlation.

C. Studying causation provides a clearer picture of historical events than studying correlation.

Correlation occurs when two events happen at the same time. On the other hand, causation refers to an event being the cause of the second one. Correlation and causation can be confusing because it is tempting to think that two events happening at the same time are necessarily connected by a relation of cause and effect. However, when causation is indeed present, it provides a clearer picture of historical events than correlation.

the answer is false.
