The standard error of the estimate measures the accuracy of predictions made with a regression line. It is calculated by taking the square root of the mean squared error. Since it involves the sum of squared differences between predicted and actual values, it cannot be negative. Option A and B have large positive values, so they are not feasible. Option D suggests that it cannot be computed, which is not the case. Only option C has a feasible positive value, so it is the best choice.
