Given:
Mass of animal = 30 kg
Maximum tension that the rope can bear = 560 N
g = 10 m/s2
Concept:
Make Free Body Diagram for the given situation and calculate maximum acceleration using maximum tension in the equation and then compare.
Calculation:

From FBD of animal,
T - mg = ma
⇒ T = m(g + a)
∵ Tmax = 560 N
⇒ T ≤ 560 N
⇒ m(g + a) ≤ 560
⇒ a ≤ (560/m) - g
⇒ a ≤ (560/30) - 10
⇒ a ≤ 26/3 or (≈ 8.67)
Hence option 2 is impossible.
