The coefficient of determination, also known as R-squared, is a measure of how well the regression line fits the data. It can range from 0 to 1, with 1 indicating a perfect fit. It is not possible for the coefficient of determination to be larger than 1 or less than -1, as it is a measure of the proportion of the total variation in the dependent variable that is explained by the independent variable(s). Therefore, the only possible answer is B.
