A scatter plot displays 'Employee Engagement Score' (Y-axis) against 'Average Work Hours Per Week' (X-axis) for 20 different teams. Most points cluster around 40-45 hours and an engagement score of 70-80. Which statement is best supported by observing a point at (55, 60) relative to the cluster?

A Higher work hours consistently lead to higher engagement.
B The team at (55, 60) likely experiences lower engagement despite higher work hours.
C Work hours have no impact on employee engagement.
D The data suggests an optimal work hour range below 40 hours.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

A point at (55, 60) represents 55 work hours and an engagement score of 60. Compared to the main cluster (40-45 hours, 70-80 score), this point shows higher hours but lower engagement, suggesting a potential negative impact for this specific team.
