Remember that the coefficient of determination is an indicative of how good of a fit a model is for a set of data.

-1 indicates a perfect negative correlation, 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation and 0 means that there's no correlation at all.

Given a coefficient of determination, r = 0.75, we can conclude that there's a strong positive correlation.

Therefore, the answer is: Option B
