To determine which statement about the box plot is true, we would need to analyze the box plot you referenced. However, since I can't view images or specific visual content directly, I'll guide you on how to evaluate the statements yourself using the information typically represented in a box plot.

  1. Upper Quartile (Q3): This is the line that indicates the 75th percentile of the data. If the upper quartile is specified as 16, confirm that the Q3 line in the box plot points to 16.

  2. Minimum: This is the smallest value in the dataset and is represented by the leftmost line (or point) of the box plot. If the minimum is stated as 4, ensure that this is where the leftmost line or point is on the plot.

  3. Maximum: This is the highest value in the dataset, represented by the rightmost line (or point). If the maximum is listed as 16, check that the rightmost end of the whisker or point indicates this value.

  4. Lower Quartile (Q1): This is the line that indicates the 25th percentile of the data. If the lower quartile is reported as 8, verify that the Q1 line corresponds to 8 on the box plot.

Once you've checked these values against the box plot, you can identify which of the statements A, B, C, or D is accurate. If you provide specific details or values from the box plot, I can help you more clearly identify the true statement.
