To interpret correlation coefficients, we look at both their strength (how close they are to 1 or -1) and the direction (positive or negative). Correlation coefficients range from -1 to 1:

- Values close to 1 indicate a strong positive correlation.
- Values close to -1 indicate a strong negative correlation.
- Values close to 0 indicate little to no correlation.

Given the correlation coefficients you provided:

- **−0.99872348** (very strong negative correlation)
- **−0.89234651** (strong negative correlation)
- **0.72643969** (strong positive correlation)
- **0.69846237** (moderate positive correlation)

Now, let's rank them from weakest to strongest based on how close they are to 0 or how extreme they are:

1. **0.69846237** (weakest positive correlation)
2. **0.72643969** (stronger positive correlation)
3. **−0.89234651** (strong negative correlation)
4. **−0.99872348** (strongest negative correlation)

Thus, the order from weakest to strongest correlation is:

**0.69846237, 0.72643969, −0.89234651, −0.99872348**

So, the correct response is:

**0.69846237, 0.72643969, −0.89234651, and −0.99872348**.
