Answer:

line D

Explanation:

to pick the line of best fit, we try to pick a line with similar number of points above the line as below it.

By observation, we can see that line D divides the cloud of points with approximately the same number of points above the line and below it.

The rest seem to have more points below the line compared to above it.

Hence D is the best fit.
