The statement that is true among the options provided is:
**B Causation implies correlation.**
This means that if one event (causation) leads to another (correlation), there will be a correlation between them. However, it is important to note that correlation does not imply causation (which is what option A incorrectly states). Therefore, while causation will always result in correlation, correlation alone does not mean that one variable causes the other.
