Answer:

Answer C, as the line is as close as possible to all of the points, so it better represents the trend between them.

Explanation:

The definition of the line of best fit is a line that represents more accurately different points on a scatter plot. In this case, despite the plot on Answer A touches 3 of the points, the correct response is C. This is because on A the two remaining points are left out from the trend. On the other hand, the plot on C goes in between the points, having a balance between them and going through the middle of them. So, it shows the trend more accurately.
