If the two variables are unrelated in the population, there is no association between them, and the expected frequencies for each cell in the contingency table will be equal to the product of the row and column totals divided by the grand total. In this case, the observed frequencies will be similar to the expected frequencies, and the chi-square value will be close to zero. Therefore, the answer is C, population; 0.
