The correct answer is A. 0 to -1.
The coefficient of correlation is a measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. It is a number between -1 and 1, inclusive. A value of 0 indicates no linear relationship, a positive value indicates a positive linear relationship, and a negative value indicates a negative linear relationship.
In the case where the dependent variable increases as the independent variable increases, the coefficient of correlation will be a positive number. This is because the two variables are positively correlated.
The options B, C, and D are incorrect because they are not within the range of possible values for the coefficient of correlation.
