Explanation:

Statistical analysis are characterized as the process of data collection and interpretation of the data for checking the ongoing trends or patterns in the market. Thus, the key purpose of such analysis is to 'determine whether the independent variable(time, income, mass, density, etc.) caused the effect on the dependent variable(cost of living, people's preferences, etc.).' Thus, it helps in analyzing how the change in independent variables have affected the trends. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
