Ms.AAA wants to identify in which of the three networks given below, the bi-fan subgraph is a motif. For that, Ms. AAA generated hundreds of random graphs keeping the number of nodes, edges and node degrees the same. The distribution of number of bi-fan subgraphs present in the random networks is shown below in blue color and the vertical red line indicate the respective network’s subgraph count. Based on your assessment of the distributions below, in which graph(s) is the bi-fan subgraph a motif?
