Answer 1

The best response to the owner's statement, “They’re very coordinated,” based on the context provided in the excerpt, is:

**They are a clumsy mess.**

The owner is using sarcasm to highlight the puppies' lack of grace and coordination as they trip and roll over each other in their eagerness to get to the food.
