As wait times for pizza (X) increase, so do death rates (Y). What is the likelyexplanation?

A. Bi-directional relationship (Pizza consumption affects death rates, and death rates affect pizza consumption)

B. Third variable problem (another variable like season-summer-is related to both pizza consumption and death rates,and the relationship between pizza intake and death is spurious)

C. Causal effect (Increased pizza intake causes higher death rates)

D. Reverse causation (Increased Death rates cause increased pizza consumption)
