The partial correlation coefficient measures the relationship between two variables while controlling for the effects of other variables, and is thus the most appropriate choice for the given definition. Regression analysis can also control for the effects of additional variables, but is typically used to predict one variable based on others. Product moment correlation measures the strength of the relationship between two variables, but does not control for the effects of other variables. ANOVA is used to compare means across multiple groups, and is not directly related to measuring association between variables.
