Answer: C. minimizes the distance from the points to the line.
Explanation:
A line of best fit is a straight line that best shown the data on a scatter plot. It may passes through all of the points or none of the points or some of the data points.
On scatter plot the set of points that may or may not looked to be arranged along any line.
If a linear pattern is appeared, it become possible to plot a line of best fit that minimizes the distance of those points from that line so that it helps us to forecast the values that are not displayed on the scatter-plot.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C.

<span>In many plants, stomata are found only on
the lower surface of the leaf. The most likely explanation for this fact
is that water loss would be less on the shaded lower surface than in
direct sun. </span>
Unlike the light reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, the reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma (the inner space of chloroplasts).
