Generally, when a scatter plot is made and a line of best fit is placed on the plot to be fitted to the data, a suitable line of best fit must adequately pass through a majority of the points, with an almost equal number of points on either side of the line.

For this reason, the model in Option A should match the data more closely

Thus:

Correct Option: Option A
