Nikolas Leonard · Answer 1

A. positive and fairly strong

Step-by-step explanation:

Since an increase in food quantity usually means an increase in price, quantity and price are directly proportional, which configures a positive correlation.

Since it is stated that this relationship in observed at most restaurants, it can be concluded that there is a fairly strong correlation between the amount of food served per person and the price paid for it.

Therefore, the answer is, A. positive and fairly strong
