Answer: C. Experimenters show a link between adult-onset diabetes and obesity

On the statement above, there is clearly a causal relationship between the adult-onset diabetes and obesity according to researches and experiments. Causal relationship shows that there is one event is the cause while the other is the result. 

Answer;

C. Experimenters show a link between adult-onset diabetes and obesity.

Explanation;

-A causal relationship is a relationship between variables that occurs when changes in one variable are systematically related to changes in another variable. A causal relation between two events exists if the occurrence of the first causes the other. The first event is called the cause and the second event is called the effect.

-A correlation is a measure or degree of relationship between two variables. A correlation between two variables does not imply causation. On the other hand, if there is a causal relationship between two variables, they must be correlated.
