A network analysis of the Internet reveals a degree correlation coefficient of r = -0.189. Which of the following statements best interprets this finding?
a) The network is neutral, and the negative r-value is likely a statistical anomaly with no structural meaning.
b) The network is disassortative, meaning that high-degree nodes (hubs) tend to connect to low-degree nodes.
c) The network is assortative, indicating that hubs preferentially link to other hubs.
d) The negative r-value indicates that the network has very few hubs compared to other network types.
e) None of the above.
