A, because a positive correlation means as one goes up, so does the other. If there is more rainfall, the depth of the pond increases. Therefore A is the positive correlation. Now, for B it COULD be a positive correlation, but not necessarily. A is DEFINITELY a positive correlation.

trantom · Answer

also positive correlations mean that if one goes down, the other goes down.
