Which line plot shows a set of data with a balance point of $35$35?

A line plot has the horizontal number line ranging from $33$33 to $41$41. It is marked with tick marks at $1$1-unit intervals. Green dots are stacked vertically above each value. $0$0 dots are stacked above $33$33. $0$0 dots are stacked above $34$34. $0$0 dots are stacked above $35$35. $1$1 dot is stacked above $36$36. $2$2 dots are stacked above $37$37. $0$0 dots are stacked above $38$38. $1$1 dot is stacked above $39$39. $0$0 dots are stacked above $40$40. $1$1 dot is stacked above $41$41.
