A
positive correlation
B
negative correlation
C
no correlation
D
perfect positive correlation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Negative correlation – produced when high scores on one variable are associated with low scores on the second variable. Inversely, low scores on one variable are associated with high scores on the second variable. Zero correlation – there is no relationship between the variables.

Detailed explanation-2: -A positive correlation exists when one variable tends to decrease as the other variable decreases, or one variable tends to increase when the other increases.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is an example of a negative correlation: as one variable increases, the other decreases. A positive correlation is where the two variables react in the same way, increasing or decreasing together. Temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit have a positive correlation.
