Degree Correlation
Given the networks below, which of the following options is most likely correct about them: (Consider r as the degree correlation degree)
a) Network A is disassortative, as the hubs tend to connect with other hubs, while Network B is assortative, with hubs tending to connect to nodes of smaller degree.
b) Network A is assortative, with a positive r, and network B is disassortative, with a negative r.
c) Network A is a perfectly assortative network, where each node links only to nodes with the same degree, while network B is disassortative, with hubs preferring to link to low-degree nodes.
d) Network A is assortative with a negative r, and network B is disassortative with a positive r.
e) None of the above

Nice question. A bit on the easy side, but has interesting networks.
