A. People like dogs more than cats.
B. People search for "dogs" more frequently than "cats".

D. The popularity of dogs as pets is slightly increasing over time, while the popularity of cats is relatively flat.

Answer 1

People search for "dogs" more frequently than "cats"

Step-by-step explanation:

Though the image you spoke about in the question is not given but Google Trends is a search trends feature that shows how often Google's search engine is queried using a given word or phrase in relation to the site's total search volume over a given period of time. So if a particular trend(A) plots higher than another(B) it shows that people are searching for "A" more frequently than "B". So option B is the likely answer without showing the image you speak of.
