Answer:

Scatterplot 2

Explanation:

SP1: All a straight line with equation of y=3 except for 1 point.

SP2: All points are on the line of y=2x-1

SP3: The trend line is y=2x-1, however, a lot of points aren't on it

SP4: Same as SP3, but there is an additional outlier at x=1.8

SP2 looks to be the strongest correlation based on these descriptions.
