A relationship can still exist between two variables even if the association is not perfectly consistent. The relationship can take on different forms, such as a curvilinear relationship or a negative relationship. It is also possible to have a relationship between categorical variables or a mix of quantitative and categorical variables. Therefore, options A, B, and C are not correct as they all limit the possibilities for a relationship to exist.
