"Jim’s heart rate increased steadily as he continued exercising."

Reason: this statement is an inference about a trend shown in the graph. Options 1 and 2 are direct readings of specific values (not inferences), and option 4 adds an unsupported cause ("since he is in good shape") that the graph cannot justify.
