A scatter plot displays 'Employee Engagement Score' (X-axis) against 'Years of Service' (Y-axis) for 100 employees. The plot generally shows a moderate negative correlation. Which statement is best supported by this trend?
✓ Correct Answer: Option C
A moderate negative correlation means that as one variable increases (years of service), the other tends to decrease (engagement), but not perfectly or consistently. 'Tendency' correctly reflects this.
