Answer:

none of the above

Explanation:

The plot has a generally downward trend, so the correlation coefficient will be negative. However, it is not scattered enough for r = -0.36 and not linear enough for r = -0.95.

My estimate of point values lets my graphing calculator give the correlation coefficient as -0.80. This is closer to -0.95 than to -0.36, but is significantly different from both of them.
