The correlation between variable X and variable Y is represented by the symbol rₓᵧ. This is a measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between X and Y. The value of rₓᵧ ranges between -1 and 1, where a value of -1 indicates a perfect negative linear relationship, a value of 1 indicates a perfect positive linear relationship, and a value of 0 indicates no linear relationship. Therefore, option B is the best choice.
