Answer:

A.strong negative correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

A correlation exists when one of two variables changes depending on the other, in this case the distance from the equator and the hours of sun that a city has everyday, a strong correlation means a correlation higher than .7, as the correlation that Arianna found is -0.91, she has found a strong negative correlation.
