Answer:
This would represent a C. negative correlation.
Explanation:
A correlation is understood as the <em>relationship between 2 variables</em>, in which both affect one another. A negative correlation occurs when <em>one variable's increase/decrease causes the other to increase/decrease. </em>
In this case, the variables are the time exercising and one's body weight. Once the time on the treadmill increases, one's body weight decreases, thus creating a negative correlation.
