Answer:

a: strong and negative linear association between horsepower and gas mileage

Explanation:

The relationship between two variables is generally considered strong when their absolute value of r is larger than 0.7. Here the absolute value of r is 0.8687 > 0.7.

The relationship is negative because r is negative, that is, when one variable increases, the other one decreases.
