### Analysis of Height Data in Presidential Elections

The table provided below shows paired data for the heights of a certain country’s presidents and their main opponents in the election campaign. The task is to construct a scatterplot based on this data and determine whether there appears to be any correlation.

#### Data Table for Election Heights
| President's height (cm) | Opponent's height (cm) | President's height (cm) | Opponent's height (cm) |
|-------------------------|------------------------|-------------------------|------------------------|
| 195                     | 188                    | 183                     | 179                    |
| 179                     | 174                    | 184                     | 178                    |
| 183                     | 171                    | 179                     | 187                    |
| 183                     | 180                    | 191                     | 186                    |
| 184                     | 190                    | 170                     | 169                    |
| 192                     | 170                    | 174                     | 184                    |
| 173                     | 193                    | 189                     | 176                    |
| 186                     | 193                    | 184                     | 189                    |

#### Constructing the Scatterplot
Using the data provided, we are to select the correct scatterplot from the options given below. 

| Graph A |
// Graph A shows a scatterplot with no distinct pattern, with opponent heights varying between 160 and 200 cm relative to the president's height.

| Graph B |
// Graph B shows a perfect positive correlation, where both heights increase together.

| Graph C |
// Graph C shows a scatterplot with no distinct pattern, with opponent heights varying between 160 and 200 cm relative to the president's height.

| Graph D |
// Graph D shows a strong negative correlation, where the opponent's height decreases as the president's height increases.

#### Determining the Correlation
The objective is to determine whether there is a correlation between the president's height and their opponent's height.

- **Option A:** Yes, there appears to be a correlation. As the president's height increases, his opponent's height increases.
- **Option B:** Yes, there appears to be a correlation. The candidate with the highest height usually wins.
- **Option C:** Yes, there appears to be a correlation. As the president's height increases, his opponent's height decreases.
- **Option D:** No, there does not appear to be a correlation because
