Option : C
Explanation : The regression coefficients b_yx and b_xy may be expressed in terms of the correlation coefficient (r) and the standard deviations of x and y (viz. σ_x and σ_y) by the relations

Thus, the correlation coefficient r is the geometric mean of the two regression coefficients b_yx and b_xy.
