Devon has finished reading a peer-reviewed research paper. what is a valid conclusion for devon to reach?

C.

Explanation:

One valid conclusion for devon to reach would be that though the authors of the paper use the word “relationship”, that term does not necessarily imply causation. This is because in most scientific research papers the term "relationship" is used in order to refer to the interconnections between and among parts of a system that may either be as important than the component parts themselves or maybe even more important. While in many other research studies that same term is used to explain causality.
