The interpretation of the coefficient of x1 is that
  a. a one unit increase in x1 will lead to a 3.682 unit decrease in x2 when all other variables are held constant.  
  b. a one unit change in x1 will lead to a 3.682 unit decrease in y.  
  c. a one unit increase in x1 will lead to a 3.682 unit decrease in y when all other variables are held constant.  
  d. The unit of measurement for y is required to interpret the coefficient
