bored for ALL of these reasons.

a) The people of Oz rarely misbehave.

Step-by-step explanation

This is clearly stated in the third paragraph of the story which reads. " Of course no one would dare be naughty while the huge lion nad the tiger crouched beside the throne; but the fact is, the people of Oz are very seldom naughty. So Ozmans big guards are more ornamental than useful. No one realizes that better than the beasts themselves.

The underlined sentence clearly indicates that people of Oz are very seldom naughty which means they are very rarely, on only few occasions, not often guilty of disobedience or misbehavior.
