Explanation
According to the textbook context, the scatter diagram gives a visual presentation of the relationship and is 'not confined to linear relations.' In contrast, both Karl Pearson's coefficient of correlation and Spearman's rank correlation specifically 'measure linear relationship among variables.' Therefore, among the three measures, only the scatter diagram can measure any type of relationship, not just linear relationships.
