Answer:
A. linear
Explanation:
A linear model is the best-fitting regression model for the data plot because for similar variations in x values, the variation in y values are also similar, that is, if you take points (x1, y1), (x2, y2) and (x3, y3) the y1 - y2 is similar to y2 - y3, when x2 - x1 is also similar to x3 - x2.
