Without seeing the actual graph, I can't provide a definitive answer. However, I can help you analyze the statements based on common data trends regarding pet behavior:

  1. The first statement suggests that both cats and dogs display confusion or indifference when their owner returns after a very short time (5 seconds). This could be true as animals may not notice a brief absence.

  2. The second statement implies a gradual increase in the emotional response from both cats and dogs as time away from their owner increases. This could be true if the data shows a correlation between time away and the level of attachment or missing behavior.

  3. The third statement indicates that there is a plateau in the level of missing behavior after 5 hours. This may be true if the graph indicates that both animals stabilize in their emotional response after a certain amount of time.

  4. The fourth statement claims that cats miss their owners more than dogs do. This would depend on the specific values shown in the graph regarding the emotional responses of the two animals.

To choose the correct answer, you would need to reference the data in the graph to determine which of these statements accurately reflects the depicted trends. If you have access to the graph, take a look at the behaviors over time for both cats and dogs and select the statement that corresponds with the observed data.
