Final Answer : A, Explanation :  A correlation of +0.70 indicates a moderately strong positive relationship between children's physical height and their popularity. This means that higher levels of popularity among peers are associated with greater physical height in children. However, correlation does not necessarily imply causation, so it cannot be concluded that children's height causes their popularity or vice versa.
