Answer:

The statement which is most likely correct about the line is:

  • It can be the line of best fit because it is closest to most data points.

Explanation:

Line of best fit--

It is a line in a scatter plot that best represents the data points i.e. the points are closely related to the line.

Also, the line of best fit may contain all, some or none of the data points.

If it contain all the data points then the relation between the two variables is said to be perfect.

The line of best fit is also known as a trend line.

Here by looking at the scatter plot we observe that the data points are closely related to the line though not all of them lie above the line but most of them do.

Hence, the line could be a line of best fit.
