Explanation / Answer

The correct answer is C. That is,

When the linear correlation coefficient is 1, there is perfect positive relationship between the two variables. The scatter diagram would contain points that all lie on a line with a positive slope.

This is because, the positive value of correlation coefficient tells that the increase(or decrease) in the value of one variable will result in increase (or decrease) of other correlated variable thus forming positive slope. Also since the value of correlation coefficient lies between -1 and +1 , the correlation coefficient of 1 is perfect positive relationship between the two variables.
