Suppose you've assumed the following two data-generating processes: (1) Y_i = f (H_i, J_i) and (2) J_i = g (X_i, Z_i). What do these assumptions imply? A) J has a direct causal effect on H. B) Z has a direct causal effect on Y. C) X has an indirect causal effect on J. D) Z has an indirect causal effect on Y.

The assumptions imply that Z affects J through the function g, and J affects Y through the function f, creating an indirect causal path from Z to Y.
