Only ordinal and interval/ratio measures of association indicate the direction of a relationship. Nominal measures of association only indicate if there is a relationship, but not the direction. Interval/ratio measures of association also indicate the strength of the relationship, but not just the direction. Therefore, B is the best choice.
