The scatterplot shows that the data points are scattered randomly and there is no clear linear pattern. This suggests that the correlation between the two variables is low, making choice C the best option. There is not enough evidence to suggest a positive or negative correlation, so choices A and B can be ruled out. The data is not completely random, so choice D can also be ruled out.
