Answer 5

Correlation does not equal causation, so the use of athlete's foot powder correlating with better fitness does not mean foot powder causes better fitness. It means people who use it exercise more, making them need it more, and more exercise = better fitness. I would say you are right with D, because the other best answer, C, implies causation, which cannot be proven from the information given.
