A. higher spending for the elderly was associated with lower spending for children.

B. there is no relationship between spending for the elderly and spending for children.

Explanation:

A study comparing the financial situations of the elderly and children in the United States with those in similar countries showed that American children are worse off financially and have a higher rate of poverty.

There was no data to support this claim.
