Question

Explanation:

A line of fit is used in data - analysis to model the relationship between variables. It is not necessarily horizontal, doesn't have to pass through all data points (as data may have scatter), and is not defined by the steepest slope. It is a line that best represents the overall trend of the data points, capturing the average behavior of the data.

D. A line that best represents the trend of the data (average)
