Making appropriate scatter plots

Corey wants to predict how much time a run will take based on the distance of the run. He collected some data on the time (in minutes) and distance (in kilometers) of some of his previous runs. His data is summarized in the table below.

All of the scatter plots below display the data correctly, but which one of them displays the data best?
By convention, a good scatter plot uses a reasonable scale on both axes and puts the explanatory variable on the x-axis.

Nate wants to predict how long people use the internet each day based on their age. The table below shows the age (in years) and average daily internet usage (in hours) for a sample of people.
