A scatter plot shows 'Daily Advertisement Spend ($)' on the X-axis and 'Daily Website Visitors' on the Y-axis for an e-commerce company over several months. A general upward trend is visible. An annotation notes that one data point, representing a high ad spend but very low visitors, occurred during a 3-day server outage. What is the most appropriate interpretation of the relationship between ad spend and website visitors?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
The upward trend suggests a positive correlation. However, the outlier explained by the server outage demonstrates that external factors can disrupt this relationship, meaning it's not a guaranteed outcome, but a general trend.
