Answer:

B

Explanation:

A linear association means the function is a relation that can be shown with a line.

The first scatterplot is in the form of a parabola, and parabolas are the quadratic function form, meaning it cannot be linear.

Next, the second scatterplot goes diagonally, in a straight line. If we were to connect the dots using a line, then it would be a linear association, meaning that B is the correct answer.
