Explanation:

The chapter heading "Pot-bellied Pigs: Worth the Work" implies that while caring for these pigs requires effort (they are not easy to care for), they are rewarding good pets. The text also supports this: it notes their positive qualities (smart, playful, clean) but also mentions they need training and can cause problems if not taught rules, matching the idea of being "worth the work". The other options are not supported: the text doesn't mention they eat too much, are bad home pets, or are hard to find in stores.

1. They are not easy to care for but can be good pets.
