Degrees of freedom for correlation are calculated using the sample size, which is why it is important to report the sample size in the results. The other options are incorrect: A is not true because degrees of freedom for correlation are calculated based on the sample size, regardless of whether or not SPSS reports it; B is not true because degrees of freedom can still be calculated even if SPSS does not report it; C is not true because degrees of freedom are not calculated based on the population size; and E is not true because not all summaries report degrees of freedom.
