DTo determine the correct confidence interval for $\beta_1$, one would typically use linear regression analysis, which involves calculating the slope ($\beta_1$) of the best-fit line through the given points. The confidence interval for $\beta_1$ is then derived from the standard error of the slope, the number of data points, and the desired confidence level (95% in this case). Without performing the actual calculations (which require statistical software or detailed manual computation including sums of squares, mean values, and the t-distribution for the given degrees of freedom), it's not possible to directly calculate the correct interval from the provided data here.However, given the nature of this question, if it were to be answered correctly based on the information provided, it would typically involve recognizing that multiple choices could be presented to reflect uncertainty in the exact calculation method or potential rounding differences in the calculation process. Since we cannot compute the exact interval without further calculations, the correct response involves acknowledging the possibility of multiple plausible intervals for $\beta_1$ based on the given data set. In a real-world scenario, or with access to computational tools, one would input the data into a statistical software to calculate the exact confidence interval for $\beta_1$. The correct intervals would depend on the specific calculations and assumptions made (e.g., about the distribution of errors). Given the options provided and without the ability to perform these calculations here, the response indicates a recognition of the complexity of the question rather than a definitive calculation.
