Answer:

Option A is correct.

The value of r = -0.7 represents the strongest negative correlation.

Explanation:

A correlation is a value that describes a relationship between two things or variables.

Strongest Negative Correlation says that closer a negative correlation to -1, the stronger the relationship between the two variables.

From the options, we have only two negative values i.e, r= -0.7 and r= -0.22.

We have to find the strongest negative correlation r-value.

By the definition, you can see that -0.7 is very closer to -1 ,

therefore, the value of r = -0.7 represents the strongest negative correlation.
