a graduate student wants to consider the relationship between green spaces/park spaces and rates of obesity in a certain neighborhood for his thesis project. what is a limitation to his stu
select the best option.
this study will not be able to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the population being studied.
this study will be hard to conduct unless the student goes door - to - door to talk with neighbors.
this study cannot definitively conclude that living next to a pa means people are healthier.
this study needs to have waivers signed by everyone in the neighborhood.

Explanation:

In research, correlation (relationship between green spaces and obesity rates) does not equal causation. Just because there's a relationship doesn't mean one directly causes the other. The first option about privacy - there's no indication in the problem that privacy would be an issue. The second option about door - to - door is not necessarily a limitation (could use surveys, existing data etc.). The fourth option about waivers is not a typical limitation for this type of study (unless specific ethical requirements not mentioned).

Answer:

This study cannot definitively conclude that living next to a park means people are healthier.
