Which value of $r$ indicates a stronger correlation: $r=0\mathrm{.}711$ or $r=-0\mathrm{.}906?$ Explain your reasoning.

Choose the correct answer below.

A$.r=0\mathrm{.}711$ represents a stronger correlation because $0\mathrm{.}711>-0\mathrm{.}906.$

B$.r=-0\mathrm{.}906$ represents a stronger correlation because $|-0\mathrm{.}906|>|0\mathrm{.}711|.$

C$.r=-0\mathrm{.}906$ represents a stronger correlation because $0\mathrm{.}711>-0\mathrm{.}906.$

D$.r=0\mathrm{.}711$ represents a stronger correlation because $|-0\mathrm{.}906|>|0\mathrm{.}711|.$
