The degree correlation function depicted in the following figure (shown in purple) is derived from a Bianconi-Barabási model with parameters N = 10,000, m = 3, and a uniform fitness distribution:

Please choose the accurate statement regarding this figure:

1. This network exhibits a neutral nature due to the presence of structural cutoff phenomena.
2. The network cannot be classified as disassortative since randomizing the network while maintaining the same degree distribution produces a similar behavior, as the orange dots (Randomized R-S).
3. While this network displays some disassortativity, it is not pronounced primarily due to structural cutoff.
4. This network does not exhibit any structural cutoff phenomena. 
5. none of above
