The correlation coefficient is typically represented by the symbol "r" and measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. In this case, the computer output provides the value of r, which is 0.986. This indicates a strong positive linear relationship between the variables. Therefore, the best choice is B, which corresponds to the correct value of r.
