Explanation:

To determine Robert Marino's point about dog owners, we analyze his statement: "We want to enjoy clean, safe parks as much as everyone else." This shows dog owners desire parks to be fun (enjoyable) and safe. The first option ("parks are mostly for animals") contradicts his mention of dog owners wanting what everyone else does. The third option ("more space") isn't directly stated; his focus is on safety and enjoyment, not space.

Answer:

B. Dog owners want parks to be fun and safe.
