Correlation between two variables means that they are related to each other in a way that when one variable changes, the other also changes, and the extent of the change is proportional. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it describes the correlation between two variables accurately. Option B is incorrect because correlation implies a relationship between variables. Option C is incorrect because correlation can exist between both independent and dependent variables. Option D and E are incorrect because correlation does not imply causation.
