a ??

Answer 4

A. is kind of weak. All the data are on one side. The line should at least TRY to go down the middle. Try again.

Answer 5

c

Answer 6

That's certainly more "down the middle", but it also shoots off in some odd direction not even related to the data. The date move down as it moves to the right. The line moves up as it moves to the right. Find the one that sort of moves with the data and rather hangs around the data and doesn't do its own thing.
