AThere is almost no association between the variables.

Answer:

Option A, There is almost no association between the variables.

Explanation:

Given -

Correlation coefficient between two variables is 0.01

As per the standard rule,  if the value of correlation coefficient lies between 0.3 and 0.5 , then it is said to have a low value of correlation coefficient.

Here the values is lesser than even 0.3 , hence it can be said that  a value of correlation coefficient  \(= 0.01\) shows no association between the variables.

Thus, option A is correct.
