Answer:

C. negative linear association

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We have ordered pairs:</u>

(1, 32), (2, 26), (3, 20), (4, 14), (5, 8)

<u>Looking at the sequence of y-values:</u>

32, 26, 20, 14, 8

We see it is the arithmetic progression with common difference of -6.

It means the function representing this relationship is linear.

Correct option is C.
