The negative correlation means that as satisfaction with performance decreases, the number of errors made on the exam increases. Therefore, those with a low level of satisfaction with their performance are more likely to have made more errors on the exam. Choice A is incorrect because high satisfaction is associated with fewer errors, not more. Choice B is incorrect for the same reason. Choice C is partially correct in that those with high satisfaction may have made more errors, but the correlation is about low satisfaction and more errors.
