correlational research can fulfill which of the following goals of science?
b) prediction and explanation
d)explanation and control
c)description and explanation
a)description and prediction

Explanation:

Correlational research is used to describe the relationship between variables and can be used to predict how one variable might change with another. It does not establish causation (so explanation in the sense of causal explanation or control are not its strengths). So the goals it fulfills are description (of the relationship) and prediction (of one variable from another).

Answer:

A) Description and prediction
