A, B, and D.
- Time and distance: at constant speed distance changes linearly with time.
- Weight and height: often show an approximately linear relationship (heavier people tend to be taller).
- Length and width: many shapes/objects scale proportionally, giving a linear relation.
Age and gender is not appropriate because gender is categorical, not a continuous numeric variable.
