A collection of point presents some correlation when they present some linear behavior pattern, even if not exactly in line, the more they present this behavior, the strongger is the correlation, and it is positive if the slope of the line is positive, and negative correlation in the case when the slope is negative.

Because the scatterplot presented in the figure has no pattern at all, we are able to conclude that the correct answer is:

A. no correlation
