Answer: Third option is correct.
Explanation:
Correlation coefficient tells the relationship between two variables, in which one variable is independent and other one is dependent.
There are two types of correlation coefficient :
1) Positive correlation coefficient
2) Negative correlation coefficient
Positive correlation coefficient means the value of the independent variable increases as the value of the dependent variable increases.
Negative correlation coefficient means the value of the dependent variable increases as the value of the independent variable decreases.
It refers that both the variables goes in the opposite direction.
Hence, Third option is correct.
