It is important to know that r refers to the correlation coefficient, the greater is the absolute value of the coefficient more clear will be its linear representation.

Having said that, the greatest coefficient is r4, and the lower is r1.

Hence, the answer is A.

Because r2 is lower than r3 because r2 is closer to zero.
