Correlation always indicates causation

Answer 1

The true statement is: **Correlation sometimes indicates causation.**

This means that while there may be a correlation between two variables, it doesn't necessarily mean that one causes the other. There could be other factors at play, or they could be correlated due to coincidence or a third variable.
