Answer:

0.872

Explanation:

The regression fits the data well leavubgbiut just one of the points, this shows there is a strong relationship between the plotted variables. Also, we have to look at the direction of the regression line which will give us an idea of the slope, hence the type of correlation between the two variables (either positive or negative relationship). In this case the slope is positive and hence the correlation Coefficient will be positive as well. Hence we can say there is a strong positive relationship between the variable. The only option which depicts this association is 0.872
