The correct answer here (B) explains that " 2 conditions have a common cause," which in this case would be psychological stress. However, isn't psychological stress the cause and the negative emotions and poor health are the effects? I understand that these 2 conditions have no causal relationship, but my issue was between the cause/ effect matter when answering this question.Emil-Kunkin on December 14, 2022
Stress is indeed the cause and emotions and health are the effects. The two effects may have no relationship with each other, but the author wrongly assumes they do.
