In a carrying-cage show, how are cavies presented?

In a carrying-cage show, cavies are presented in their carrying cages to ensure their safety and comfort, as well as to minimize stress during the presentation. Using carrying cages allows for a controlled environment where the animals feel secure and are less likely to escape or become agitated. The cages serve as a familiar space for the cavies, allowing judges and spectators to view them while maintaining the integrity of the animals’ well-being.

The other options do not align with standard practices for presenting cavies during a show. Grooming is important prior to the show but does not dictate how they are presented in that specific context. Holding cavies loosely in the handler's arms or using grooming tables may be appropriate in other situations, but in a carrying-cage show, the emphasis is on utilizing the carrying cages for both safety and effective presentation.
