The question is asking for the term that describes events happening at the same time without a cause-and-effect relationship. 'Coincident' is the correct term as it refers to events that happen at the same time or in a way that seems related but doesn't imply a causal connection. 'Consecutive' means following one after the other. 'Correlative' implies a relationship or association between two things. 'Causal' indicates a cause-and-effect relationship. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Coincident.
