We are told that the cellar is 2 meters below the ground. This means that the cellar is on the negative side of the y axis. We can also tell that the slope of the graph is negative. The slope is represented by the steps. For a negative slope, as x increases, y decreases. The raph slants downward. Therefore, looking at the given graphs, the correct option is the second one

Number 2 is the answer
