    decreased, increases.

    Explanation:

    It is to be noted that the safety inventory on aggregation amplifies with the correlative coefficient of variation in the analyses of demand, but in this situation since the correlation is being provided from 0.1 to 1, therefore the inventory of safety reduces with the increase in the correlation as they are indirectly proportionally related and vice versa it raises when the correlation decreases to be 0.
