The correct statement that reflects the relationship between the number of turtles and crocodiles is:
"If there are c crocodiles, then there are \( 2c + 4 \) turtles."
This correctly translates the phrase "the number of turtles in a pond is four more than twice the number of crocodiles" into a variable expression.
"If there are c crocodiles, then there are \( 2c + 4 \) turtles."
