Option D is correct.

A scatterplot shows linear correlation when an increase in the one variable leads to change (increase or decrease) in another variable. The Given scatterplot is not showing any pattern. Increase in x-values showing insignificant effect on Y-values. Therefore, Enrique is correct as he says that there is no correlation between X and Y as the change has no effect on y-values.
