The weight of three animals varied during a study in which the animals were fed an experimental diet. The weights at left are in kilograms.
The data supports which of the following claims?
No animal gained or lost more than 50% of its body weight in one week.
The dog’s weight throughout the study was always at least 2 kg greater than the cat’s weight.
At least one animal weighed more at the end of the study than at the beginning.
At least one animal reached its maximum weight during week 3 of the study.
Each animal’s weight first decreased, then increased, then decreased again during the study.
Kudos for the right answer and explanation

Since this question would ideally involve checking all options one-by-one, I think one should start from the last answer choice to avoid wasting a lot of time
Option 5
Each animal’s weight first decreased, then increased, then decreased again during the study.
This claim might seem true at first glance because of Cat and Dog but the weight line of the Hamster does not follow the claim. Hence False
Option 4
At least one animal reached its maximum weight during week 3 of the study.
Looking at the graph, both Cat and Dog seem to have a peak point during week 3. Hence the claim is correct and Answer choice 4 is correct
No need to check the other answer choices.
