The correct answer is: The line is not a good fit because the points on the residual plot have a clear pattern.
A good fit in linear regression is indicated by a random scatter of points around the horizontal axis in the residual plot, showing that the model captures the variability in the data. If there is a clear pattern in the residual plot, it suggests that the model is not able to fully explain the variability in the data points.
