The correct option is B As the value of x increases the value of y will decrease, but the pattern will not resemble a straight line.
Scatter diagram gives the relationship between the two variables. The plotted points give the correlation between the variables if present.

Above scatter plot is an example of a weak negative correlation. IN this plot, as the value of x increases the value of y is decreasing, but the pattern doesn't resemble a straight line.
