The answer is weak negative


Since the correlation is negative, the correlation would be the opposite of the hypothesis. If the number of correlation is near zero, it shows that the correlation is weak while further from zero show the correlation is strong. The number of correlation in this question is near zero (0.63) so it should be considered weak.
