Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Product moment coefficient of correlation measures Circular type of relationship between two variables.It is a measure of linear correlation between two sets of data. It is the ratio between the covariance of two variables and the product of their standard deviations; thus, it is essentially a normalized measurement of the covariance, such that the result always has a value between -1 and 1.
For variables X = {x1,...,xn} and Y = {y1,...,yn} that are defined on the unit circle [0, 2π), it is possible to define a circular analog of Pearson's coefficient. This measure can be useful in fields like meteorology where the angular direction of data is important.
