Ria plotted four points P, Q, R, and S on the chalkboard and joined segment PQ and segment RS using straight lines, as shown.

A vertical line joins points R and S. A horizontal line joins points P and Q. Segment PQ and segment RS intersect at point T.

Ria made the following statements about the points.

Statement 1: Point P and Point Q are contained on one line.
Statement 2: segment PQ and segment RS intersect at only one point.

Which chart best justifies Ria’s statements?
