Explanation:

Correlation in a scatter - plot refers to the relationship between two variables. When points lie approximately along a straight line, it shows a correlation. Positive and negative describe the direction of the relationship (upward or downward slope). Horizontal would mean no change in one variable as the other changes. But the general term for points lying along a line (regardless of direction) is correlation.

Answer:

B. correlation
