Answer:
A. The data show a negative linear relationship.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the attached image as we can see that the temperature is in Y axis and volume of ice cubes is in X axis
So the following statements considered to be true
a. The volume represents the explanatory variable
b. Temperature would be strongly correlated to the ice cubes volume
c. As the correlation coefficient is near to -1
But it does not show the negative linear relationship
Therefore the correct option is a.
