Answer:

Diagram B

Explanation:

Diagram A makes sense to have a line of best fit because there is a common amount of data for where the next points probably will be. The points are close to the line of best fit, and there are pretty much an even amount of points on each side of the line. So, Diagram A’s line of best fit makes sense.

Diagram C makes sense to have a line of best fit because about the line, all the points are right next to it, and the line of best fit gives a nice representation of the data. So, Diagram C’s line of best fit makes sense.

For Diagram B, all of the points all scattered across the graph and none of them are close to the line of best fit, and a line a best fit is usually made to make an estimat of where the data will be, but for example, the point (20,90) is nowhere near the line of best fit. So, Diagram B’s line of best fit should not have been drawn.
