Ans :-
A Linear relationship
option ' D ' is Correct.
A linear relationship (or linear association) is a statistical term used to describe a straight-line relationship between a variable and a constant. Linear relationships can be expressed either in a graphical format where the variable and the constant are connected via a straight line or in a mathematical format where the independent variable is multiplied by the slope coefficient, added by a constant, which determines the dependent variable.
The Linear Equation Is:
Mathematically, a linear relationship is one that satisfies the equation
y = mx + b
where,
m = slope
b = y intercept.
