The relationship that most likely reflects both correlation and causation is:
Planting more tomatoes is associated with harvesting more tomatoes.
This is because planting more of a crop (in this case, tomatoes) leads directly to an increase in the quantity that can be harvested, establishing a causal relationship. The other options are likely correlational without necessarily implying causation.
