If chi-square computed on a bivariate table is greater than zero, this suggests that the variables are associated, but it does not necessarily mean that they are dependent. To determine whether the variables are dependent or independent, further analysis and interpretation are required, such as calculating the strength and direction of the association and examining possible confounding variables. Therefore, the best choice is D, which indicates that the variables are associated and may be dependent.
