Answer:

A. Low positive correlation.

Explanation:

We have been given that a data set has a correlation coefficient of 0.1. We are asked to find the type of correlation.

We know that a correlation coefficient closer to 1 is known as strong positive linear relationship.

A correlation coefficient closer to -1 is known as strong negative linear relationship.

Weaker relationships have values of coefficient closer to 0.

Since the given data has a correlation coefficient of 0.1, which is closer to 0, therefore, our data set has a low positive correlation and option A is the correct choice.
