Studies show that there is a positive correlation between the number of cute names (e.g. ,"Snookums" and "Pookie") couples have for each other and their self-reported feelings of love.This research tells me that:

A) if I give my sweetheart more cute names,it will cause my sweetheart to love me more.
B) if I give my sweetheart more cute names,it will cause my sweetheart to love me less.
C) if my sweetheart has a lot of cute names for me,my sweetheart also tells researchers that he/she loves me a lot.
D) if my sweetheart has a lot of cute names for me,my sweetheart tells researchers that he/she does not love me very much.
