Let me explain this question with the following picture:

We can recognize a linear structure when all the points have a pattern that seems like a straight line as you can see above for example.

In the graph of your question, we can see that the points don't have a definited pattern and that's clearly not seemed like a straight line.

Therefore, the answer is option B:

There is not a pattern, so the data is not linear.
