Answer:

D) A graph shows both axes unnumbered. Points are scattered all over the graph.

Explanation:

The value of "r" tells you how strong the correlation is between the independent and dependent variables. If its close to 0, then there will be hardly any correlation, so a good example of this is the 4th option where there's no pattern in the data set.
