Answer:

B

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the kind of relationship a correlation value of 0.45 represents

Generally the perfect correlation value is 1, while a correlation score of zero shows no relationship between the two quantities.

Firstly, the value we have is positive, so we have a positive correlation, since it is closer to zero than 1, we can interpret the value as being a weak positive correlation
