Which phrase denotes a factor that played a role in the occurrence of another factor?

Is an effect of
Causal term
Product of
Played a role in

The correct answer is: Played a role in

In this question, we are asked to identify the phrase that denotes a factor that played a role in the occurrence of another factor. Among the choices provided, only option D, "Played a role in," accurately fits this description. This phrase indicates a causal relationship or influence between the two factors, where one factor has impacted or contributed to the occurrence of the other. Option A, "Is an effect of," suggests that the factor is a result or consequence of another factor, not necessarily implying a causal link between them. Option B, "Causal term," is a general term and does not specifically indicate a factor that played a role in another factor's occurrence. Option C, "Product of," denotes something that is created as a result of another factor, similar to option A but not explicitly stating a causal relationship. Therefore, option D, "Played a role in," best represents a factor that contributed to the occurrence of another factor, making it the correct choice in this context.
