  b. as the values of one variable increase, there is a tendency for the values of the other variable also to increase.
  c. as the values of one variable increase, there is a tendency for the values of the other variable to decrease.
  d. as the values of one variable decrease, there is a tendency for the values of the other variable also to decrease.
