D) Neither (a) nor (b)
The property of correlation is,
correlation does not change by changing the origin of a variable.
correlation does not change by changing the scale of a variable.
Because if we reduce the overall value of x variable then correlation does not change if we change in both variable at different values then will change otherwise not.
Example:
> x
[1] 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
> y
[1] 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
cor(x,y) = 1
if we reduce the x variable by 3
then,
> x = x-3
> x
[1] 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
then,
cor(x,y) = 1
