B. 0.55
C. 0.35
D. 0.25

Answer :

Final answer:

The correlation coefficient of 0.55 represents the strongest correlation.

Explanation:

The correlation coefficient measures the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. In this case, we are looking for the strongest correlation coefficient. The value closest to 1 (either positive or negative) indicates a strong relationship.

Out of the given options, the correlation coefficient of 0.55 represents the strongest correlation since it is closer to 1 compared to the other options.

Therefore, option b. 0.55 is the correct answer.
