The choice that best describes the relationship between the variables shown in the graph is:
D. People who made more money generally completed more years of college than those who made less money.
This is supported by the description of the scatter plot, which indicates a tight cluster of data points along a line with a positive slope, suggesting that as the number of years of college completed increases, annual income also increases.
