Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Covariance refers to the measure of how two variables change together. In this case, the statement "People with above-average incomes own more TVs than the average consumer" illustrates the concept of covariance, as it shows a relationship between two variables (income and TV ownership). The other statements do not relate to covariance.
