I can’t see the image you meant to attach. Could you either upload the scatter-plot image or type the point coordinates (or a brief description of where the points lie)?
If you want to decide yourself, use these quick rules to pick the best-fit line by eye:
- The best-fit line passes through the “middle” of the cloud of points, with roughly half the points above and half below.
- It should follow the overall trend (positive slope if points rise left→right, negative if they fall).
- It should minimize vertical deviations (don’t try to pass through outliers).
- Ignore single outliers that are far away; they shouldn’t pull the line drastically.
If you post the image or the point list I’ll pick A/B/C/D or compute the least-squares line.
