The use of simple correlational techniques implies the assumption(s) that
A) there is a linear relationship between the independent and dependent variables.
B) if there is more than one independent variable, there are no interactions between independent variables.
C) if there is more than one independent variable, the independent variables are multicollinear.
D) a and b but not c.

Simple correlational techniques assume a linear relationship between variables (A) and, when multiple independent variables are involved, that there are no interactions between them (B). They do not assume multicollinearity (C), which is a problem rather than an assumption of these techniques.
