The best choice from the ones viewable in your picture is B) 1.

With that being said, 1 is used to indicate a perfect fit, which there is not one for this plot.
However, 0 would not be correct either, as 0 implies no correlation. We can see from the graph that there is a correlation.

-0.95 would not work either, as the line appears to trend upward; a negative correlation coefficient indicates it trends down.
