The non-linear association is C.

Reason: Plots A and B show clear roughly linear trends (A: negative/downward, B: positive/upward) and D shows a strong positive linear trend. In C the y-values do not consistently increase or decrease with x (they rise and fall irregularly), so the pattern is not well described by a straight line — it's non-linear.
