Statistician: Changes in the Sun’s luminosity correlate exceedingly we

Change in X is proportional to change in Y
It means : X controls Y


e.g. Climate; Y can not be controlled by single factor X.
Meaning: Y can be controlled by X but not only with X.

The rejection by the meteorologist of the statistician's conclusion employs which one of the following techniques of argumentation?


relevant generalization: (Any professional meteorologist will tell you)
about a specific case : Climate
supporting a conclusion: Meteorologist didn’t reject conclusion . they just said it can not be controlled only by X .( they never said it can not be controlled by X).
So Hang on to A.



single counterexample: There is no example given when X ( luminosity ) never changes Y (temperature). – so I rejected this option.
The example given is of climate in which temperature plays a role but how big role is the query what meteorologist disagrees about.



Multiple cause for a given effect
But option is given multiple effects of a single cause


We don’t know whether can be experemitennally trsted . There is nothing given about expereimentation in the argument.


Unfavoruable evident is wrong. Meteorlogist says that some generalization fact is neglected.

Answer is A based on POE. But, "conclusion about a specific vase" is iffy. Climate is a phenomenon or weather pattern and there is no clear indication of a specific episode or event being referenced.
