Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Line A

Line A has a positive slope, but the scatter plot data points seem to have a negative trend (as x increases, y generally decreases), so Line A does not fit.

Step2: Analyze Line B

Line B has a negative slope, but visually, the data points are not closely aligned with Line B; some points are far from it.

Step3: Analyze Line C

Line C also has a negative slope, but similar to Line B, the data points do not show a close fit to it.

Step4: Evaluate Overall Fit

Looking at all three lines, none of them closely represent the trend of the scatter plot data points. The points are scattered in a way that none of the lines (A, B, or C) provide a good best - fit.

Answer:

D. None of the lines fit the data well.
