The total number of pets is 20

Checking the options

Option A.

One-fourth of the pets are cats

`(1)/(4)*20=5\text{ }pets`

This is TRUE from the table

Option B

Snakes represent 10% of the pets on the farm

`\begin{gathered} 10\%*20 \\ (10)/(100)*20=2\text{ }pets \end{gathered}`

This is FALSE from tables as there is only 1 snake

The number of biirds and snakes on the farm make up 20%

`\begin{gathered} 20\%*20 \\ (20)/(100)*20=4\text{ }pets \end{gathered}`

This is TRUE from the table
