Given Statements:

Dogs do not bark on the arrival of friends of the family.

→ If someone is a friend, the dog will not bark.

When A entered B's house, B's dog started barking.

→ Dog did bark when A entered.

But being not a friend does not necessarily mean being an enemy. A could be a stranger, or someone the dog doesn’t recognize.

So, the barking only tells us that A is not a friend of the family — not necessarily that A is an enemy.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
