Carlos decided to construct two networks of relationships, one with the managers in his company (figure a) and another with the families in his neighborhood (figure b). He obtained the following results:

Which of the alternatives below represent a credible assessment of the network type and correlation coefficient r for networks (a) and (b), respectively, with respect to degree correlations?

1. Assortative with r = -0.276 and Disassortative with r = 0.247
2. Assortative with r = 0.276 and Disassortative with r = -0.247
3. Disassortative with r = 0 and Assortative with r = -0.247
4. Disassortative with r = -0.276 and Assortative with r = 0.247
5. None of the above.
