Answer

Option B is correct.

Negative association.

Step-by-step explanation

A scatterplot with positive association has a set of points that can form a line that slopes positively (slopes upwards as we move from left to right along the x-axis).

WHILE

A scatterplot with negative association has a set of points that can form a line that slopes negatively (slopes upwards as we move from right to left along the x-axis).

We can easily see that this graph given has points that slope upwards as we move from right to left along the x-axis.

Hence, this indicates negative association.

Hope this Helps!!!
