The table shows the sales forecast from January to June of last year, by the sales team of Company X, for the number of units of Product Z each month.
Was the actual number of units of Product Z sold in March less than the number sold in April?
(1) Twelve units of Product Z were sold in March.
(2) From January through June of last year, there was a constant, linear relationship between the forecast and actual number of units of Product Z sold.

I don't understand the term "constant linear relationship". I would have taken it as a linear relation and since a line can have positive or negative slope, I would have marked the answer here as (E). If it is used in certain specific curricula this way, then I don't know about it.
y = kx is a direct relation.

Further explanation of this upon request:
A "linear relationship" is a line. When I say x and y have a linear relation, it represents a line on the xy axis. i.e. y = mx + c
I do not understand what is meant by a "constant linear relationship". I would just take it as a line i.e. a linear relationship.
I would not think that it means y = mx. As I mentioned before, if there is some particular curriculum in which a constant linear relationship means "y = mx" then I do not know. But a google search did not give any such information. So I doubt many people would equate "constant linear relationship" to y = Constant * x and hence the question would not pass the GMAT filter.
We know that y = constant * x is direct variation and I would look for that term to arrive at the conclusion that I have to use that relation here.
Hence, in this question, as given, this is what I imagine is also possible:

Hence it is possible that the actual number of units sold in April is less than the number sold in March even using the data from both statements.
Hence my answer here would be (E).
