The points on a scatterplot increase rapidly. You run a linear regression on the data. The residual plot shows a pattern, and is low.

Which of these methods would likely result in a better model of the data?

A. Run a quadratic regression on the data and then linearize the data.

B. Linearize the data by taking the log of the response variable, and

then run a linear regression.

C. Linearize the data by taking the logs of both variables, and then

run a linear regression.

D. Linearize the data by taking the log of the response variable, and

then run an exponential regression.
