"Texting while driving reduces impulse control" is a reasonable causal claim because it suggests a specific cause (texting while driving) and a specific effect (reduced impulse control). It implies a causal relationship between the two variables.

Note: None of the other options clearly suggest a causal relationship between the variables mentioned. Option A is a normative claim, Option B suggests a descriptive claim, and Option D suggests a value judgment.
