Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The Durbin-Watson statistic d is a test statistic used to detect the presence of autocorrelation at lag 1 in the residuals from a regression analysis. Its range is from 0 to 4, where a value of 2 indicates no autocorrelation, values approaching 0 indicate positive autocorrelation, and values approaching 4 indicate negative autocorrelation.
