Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
A correlation coefficient of +0.01 indicates a very weak or negligible relationship between the two variables being measured. A correlation coefficient of +0.95 indicates a very strong positive relationship, while a correlation coefficient of -0.69 indicates a moderately strong negative relationship. The value of -4.50 is not a valid correlation coefficient as it falls outside the range of -1 to +1.
