a. cats, because the range of their weights is less than that of small dogs.
Based on the dot plots, the weights of cats are more tightly clustered around a smaller range (9-13 pounds) compared to small dogs whose weights are more spread out over a larger range (8-15 pounds). This indicates that cats have less variability in their weights compared to small dogs.
