Answer:

B. Quadratic

Explanation:

We are given the scatter plot representing a data.

Now, it is required to find the best regression model for the scatter plot.

From the graph, we see that,

The scatter plot has a behavior similar to a quadratic equation.

That is, the graph is starting and ending in the same direction.

Also, the points in the scatter plot are increasing at first to reach a maximum value and then decreasing.

Thus, we have that,

Visually the scatter plot represents a quadratic equation.

So, option B is correct.
