well,
if u talk about choice d,
to know,if stopping zarda/pan wud decrease the incidence of buccal carcinoma,we oughtta intervene or manipulate our study,by withdrawing the causative factor frm the study grp n studying the effect,therby!
n dat wud come under randomised control trials!to be precise under,cessation experiments! the very same way,it was studied dat stopping smoking wud decrease incidence of lung carcinoma.dat doesnt comes under case control study!
but wats the ans given!im confused abt rest of the choices!

Can you prove causation with a case control study?
I have my doubts.........
Via Odd's ratio we can only measure the strength of association. 8)

true!we can measure only strength of association,in a case control study!
but then how can we chose between choice a and c?
both confirm assoc of zarda/pan with buccal carcinoma.
or am i missing sum basics?
