A correlation coefficient (r) of -.60 indicates a moderate negative relationship between two variables. To find the percent of variance accounted for, we need to square the correlation coefficient (r^2). In this case, r^2 = .36, which means 36% of the variance in one variable is associated with variation in the other variable. Therefore, the answer is B.

If Robs = -
