b) Exponential relationship
c) Inverse relationship
d) No correlation

Final answer:

The ripening of bananas correlates with the conversion of starch to sugar, usually in an exponential relationship, but the exact correlation cannot be definitively determined without the specific graphs mentioned in the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation between the ripening process of bananas and the conversion of starch to sugar can be described by looking at the ripening process over time, where green bananas have the highest starch content which decreases as the fruit ripens and converts into sugar. Over time, as bananas ripen, the starch content decreases while the sugar content increases, illustrating a direct relationship. This process is not linear as the rate of starch conversion can change over time; however, based on the information provided, the most accurate answer cannot be determined without the specific graphs referenced in the question. Usually, the ripening process can be seen as an exponential relationship, as the change in starch to sugar conversion rate is not constant but accelerates over time. Nevertheless, without the given graphs, it is not possible to confidently select between a linear, exponential, or another type of relationship.
