The statement refers to the concept of correlation or the strength of the relationship between two variables. Correlation measures the extent to which changes in one variable (X) are associated with changes in another variable (Y). The closer the correlation coefficient is to +1 or -1, the stronger the relationship between the two variables is, and the more consistently one value of Y is associated with one and only one value of X. Therefore, the best choice is C, the strength of the relationship.
