Correlational studies are used primarily to
A
examine relationships among variables.
B

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A correlational study is a type of research design that looks at the relationships between two or more variables. Correlational studies are non-experimental, which means that the experimenter does not manipulate or control any of the variables. A correlation refers to a relationship between two variables.

Detailed explanation-2: -A correlational research design investigates relationships between variables without the researcher controlling or manipulating any of them. A correlation reflects the strength and/or direction of the relationship between two (or more) variables.

Detailed explanation-3: -Correlational research involves measuring two variables and assessing the relationship between them, with no manipulation of an independent variable. Correlation does not imply causation. A statistical relationship between two variables, X and Y, does not necessarily mean that X causes Y.
