Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:
Expected (AB) under independence = (600×700)/1000 = 420. Observed (AB)=450 > 420, indicating positive association. Yule's Q = [(450×150) - (150×250)] / [(450×150) + (150×250)] = (67500-37500)/(67500+37500)=30000/105000≈0.286, confirming positive but not perfect association.
