I think I'm confused about how Ek values predict the agreeableness in figure 2. Can anyone help?

Well, they didn't actually show you how they used Ek scores to predict agreeableness. They simply stated that they did, which should be enough to rule out answer C. What Figure 2 shows is their actual scores plotted against their predicted scores. If Ek scores entirely predicted agreeableness, you would expect the slope of the line cross through zero and have a slope of exactly one. In other words, y = x, or actual score = predicted score. In this case, it looks like Ek is a rather poor predictor.
