So,

The correlation coefficient is the specific measure that quantifies the strength of the linear relationship between two variables in a correlation analysis. The coefficient is what we symbolize with the r in a correlation report.

This coefficient takes values from -1 to 1.

When it is closer to these, the correlation coefficient best fits the data.

Given our options, we got:

-0.34

-0.82

-0.95

0.01

As you can see, the most closer value to the values of the range given is -0.95 because it best fits for the data since it is closer to -1.

Therefore, the answer is -0.95.
