Answer:
C. About 18 percent of the variation in blood pressure can be explained by a linear relationship between blood pressure and caffeine consumed.
Explanation:
Here, r = 0.428
∴ We can say it will give a positive curve, as 0.428 indicates it is a positive correlation.
Though the amount of correlation is low, still it is positive and more than 0.4
So, nearly about 18% of the variation in the blood pressure can be observed by the consumption of caffeine water. As consumption of caffeine water and blood pressure is both increasing so we can say that r= 0.428 will give a positive linear curve.
Option - IT IS BASED ON PREDICTION
because they have not had any way of telling where or when it has happened or occurred so you must predict how it happens or works.

Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in heritable traits of a population over time. The term "natural selection" was popularised by Charles Darwin who compared it with artificial selection, now more commonly referred to as selective breeding.
