The statement suggests that there is a positive correlation between better reading ability and smoother eye movements, which means that as reading ability improves, eye movements become smoother. In a scatterplot, this would be represented by points running from lower left (indicating low reading ability and choppy eye movements) to upper right (indicating high reading ability and smooth eye movements). Therefore, the best choice is B: lower left to upper right.
