An inverse relationship between the independent and dependent variable is one where as the independent variable increases, the dependent variable decreases, and vice versa. In sets 1 and 3, as the independent variable increases, the dependent variable decreases, indicating an inverse relationship. Sets 2 and 4 show a positive relationship where as the independent variable increases, the dependent variable also increases. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
