Scientists use causation when researching ways that organisms are adapted or have undergone
natural selection, but they do not use correlation for this reason.

The correct statement is:
**Correlation is a relationship between two variables, while causation is when an event or action happens and it appears to make another event or action happen.**
This means that correlation indicates that two variables are related in some way, but it does not imply that one causes the other. Causation, on the other hand, indicates a direct cause-and-effect relationship.
