two or more levels of independent variable.
B
two or more variables and one group.
C
three or more variables and two groups.
D
one independent variable and two dependent variables
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A correlational study typically uses only one group of participants but measures two different variables (two scores) for each individual.

Detailed explanation-2: -But there are also plausible third variables that could explain this relationship. It could be, for example, that people who are lower in SES tend to be more religious and that it is their greater religiosity that causes them to be more generous.

Detailed explanation-3: -The outcome is known as the dependent variable and the variables being tested for association are the independent variables.
