A)0.385
B)0.877
C)0.591
D)0.736

The adjusted coefficient of determination accounts for the number of predictors in the model and the sample size. It is calculated using the formula: Adjusted R² = 1 - [(1-R²)(n-1)/(n-k-1)], where R² is the unadjusted coefficient of determination, n is the number of data points, and k is the number of independent variables. Plugging in the values: Adjusted R² = 1 - [(1-0.769)(25-1)/(25-3-1)] = 0.736.
