The correct answer is the fourth statement - The statement is considered pseudoscience because her advice involves an opinion.

Explanation:

Pseudoscience is an opinion, belief, statements that are suggested as scientific and factual but in reality, does not have compatibility by the scientific method.

Enzo's mother gives him advice that involves an opinion that is not scientifically proven or does not base on factual statements.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.
