It is important to know that an outlier on a scatterplot is a point that is way separated from the regression.

In this case, the outlier is (0.07, 18) because it is separated from the rest of the points.

Additionally, this outlier might represent a new born shark because its weight is 0.07 kg and its length is just 18 centimeters.

Hence, the answer is A.
