To determine which statement is true based on the graph modeling the linear relationship between gallons in the tank and kilometers driven for both a jeep and a van, we need to analyze the information given in the options.

1. **Option A:** "There were 70 gallons in the tank at 5 km for both the jeep and the van." - This statement can be examined by looking at the point where kilometers driven is 5 km. If the graph indicates that both vehicles have 70 gallons at this point, then this statement is true. Otherwise, it is false.

2. **Option B:** "There were more gallons in the tank at 70 km in the jeep than in the van." - This requires checking the value of gallons for the jeep and the van when kilometers driven is 70 km. If the jeep has more gallons than the van at this point, then this statement is true.

3. **Option C:** "There were less gallons in the tank at 70 km in the jeep than in the van." - Similar to Option B, this requires comparing the two vehicles at 70 km. If the jeep has fewer gallons than the van at this point, this statement is true.

4. **Option D:** "There were 5 gallons in the tank at 70 km for both the jeep and the van." - This should also be checked against the graph. If both have exactly 5 gallons remaining at 70 km, then this statement holds true.

In order to provide an accurate answer, one would need to refer to the actual graph. Since I cannot see the graph, I suggest that you check the points corresponding to 5 km and 70 km for both the jeep and the van to determine which of the statements is supported by the data.

If you can provide specific details from the graph, I can help you analyze it further!
