Value of home and life span are two variables that have been shown to have positive correlation but no cause-and-effect relationship. Describe at least one possible reason for the correlation.
Select all that apply.
A. Exercise tends to increase life spans, people who live within walking distance of amenities tend to walk more than those who do not, and homes that are within walking distance of amenities tend to be more valuable than homes that are not.
B. Homes in large cities tend to be more valuable than homes in rural areas, large cities tend to have more pollution than rural areas, and greater exposure to pollution decreases life spans.
C. Greater wealth allows people to afford more valuable homes and to spend more money on health care, and greater health care spending generally enables people to live longer.
D. People who have more valuable homes tend to live more stressful lives, and stress generally decreases life spans.
