A curvilinear relationship means that there is a point at which the relationship changes direction. In this case, it means that as the number of weight training sessions increases, the amount of weight lost will continue to increase, but at a decreasing rate until it reaches a point where it levels off or even starts to decline. This is consistent with option D, where weight loss initially increases with more weight training sessions but then starts to decline after a certain point.
