Explanation

Scatter plots support Reference lines (B) and Trend lines (D) because both are visualizations that overlay onto the plotted data points - reference lines mark a fixed value threshold, and trend lines show the directional relationship or correlation between variables, both of which are native to scatter plot analysis.

Forecast (A) is incorrect because forecasting relies on time-series data with sequential ordering, which is a line or bar chart feature - scatter plots don't imply temporal sequence. Totals (C) is incorrect because scatter plots display individual data point relationships, not aggregated sums; totals are meaningful in table or bar chart contexts.

Memory tip: Think "lines for scatter" - scatter plots are all about lines that interpret relationships (trend lines) or lines that set context (reference lines). If an option sounds like aggregation (totals) or prediction over time (forecast), it belongs to a different chart type.
