Answer:

Residual Plot 1 corresponds to Scatter plot C - What best describes the line of best fit: Perfect Model

Residual Plot 2 corresponds to Scatter Plot B - What best describes the line of best fit: Good (but not perfect) model

Residual Plot 3 corresponds to Scatter Plot A - What best describes the line of best fit: Not an appropriate model

Step-by-step explanation:

The Residual Plot shows the difference of each data point with the line of best fit.

In the Residual Plot 1, the distance between the data point and the line of best fit is 0, thus the corresponding scatter plot is one where all the points are on the line of best fit. This is Scatter Plot C. Since the line perfectly describes the data, we call it a perfect model.
