Answer:

(d) none of the lines fit the data

Explanation:

You want to know if any of the lines shown on the graph represents a good fit to the data.

Best fit line

The line of best fit for the data shown would be one that passes through the points (0, 5.3) and (9, 0.4). It would lie somewhat below line A and somewhat above line B.

None of the lines shown fit the data.

__

Additional comment

Line A seems to ignore the data that is fit by Line B, and vice versa. A line of best fit will minimize the measure of distance to all the data points, not just some of them.
