Question

A study finds that people who drink more coffee tend to live longer. The researchers conclude that drinking coffee increases lifespan.

Which of the following is the best critique of the researchers' conclusion?

The conclusion is valid; drinking coffee directly leads to a longer lifespan.

The conclusion is flawed because other factors like wealth, healthcare access, or genetics could be influencing both coffee consumption and lifespan.

There is no relationship between coffee consumption and longevity; the data is random.

People who live longer naturally drink more coffee because they have more time to do so.
