Solution

The correct option is B

Correlation is linear and negative


Explanation for correct option.

Correlation: The correlation coefficient r measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables on a scatterplot.

Here, r=0.97 clearly this is negative so it is negative correlation.

Also this is linear.

Hence option B is correct.
