Looking at the image, we can see that the points form a line that has a negative slope, that is, when the values in the x-axis increase, the values in the y-axis decrease.

Since we can fit a line to represent the points, we have a correlation, and since the slope of the line is negative, we have a negative correlation, therefore the correct option is D)
