C

D
Chi-square Test of Independence
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The non-parametric equivalent to the Pearson correlation is the Spearman correlation (), and is appropriate when at least one of the variables is measured on an ordinal scale.

Detailed explanation-2: -Spearman rank-order correlation is a nonparametric statistical technique for measuring the relationship between two ordinal variables or rank-ordinal correlation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient is a non-parametric measure of correlation. Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient tries to assess the relationship between ranks without making any assumptions about the nature of their relationship.

Detailed explanation-4: -Comparison of Pearson and Spearman coefficients The fundamental difference between the two correlation coefficients is that the Pearson coefficient works with a linear relationship between the two variables whereas the Spearman Coefficient works with monotonic relationships as well.
