The scatter plot shows the relationship between the time t, in years after 1900, and the life expectancy, in years, at birth for a certain country.

Which of the following statements best describes the data on the scatter plot?
A. The data on the scatterplot suggests a linear association that could be modeled by the function
L(t) = 39.67t + 0.37.
B. The data on the scatterplot suggests a linear association that could be modeled by the function

L(t) = -0.24t + 74.33.
C. The data on the scatterplot suggests a linear association that could be modeled by the function
L(t) = 0.37t + 39.67.
D. The data on the scatter plot does not suggest a linear association, so it cannot be modeled by a linear
function.
