Answer:

E

Explanation:

You can see from the first and last points that the data set demonstrates a slight upward trend. That means the slope of the regression line will be near +1, eliminating all choices except A and E.

The y-intercept of such a line will not be negative, eliminating choice A, leaving choice E as the only reasonable option.

__

If you input this data to a suitable calculator or spreadsheet, it can find the parameters of the regression line for you. (We presume you have been introduced to such tools.) My graphing calculator gave the results shown below, confirming E is the correct choice.
