I don't see the image — could you upload it or describe the box plots (min, Q1, median, Q3, max for each)? I need that to pick which statement is true.

If you want to check yourself, here's how to decide:
- "Less spread out" means overall spread (range) or IQR? Usually compare IQR (length of the box) for spread of the middle 50% and compare whisker+box length for overall spread.
- Compare medians by looking which median line is higher.
- Range = max − min (compare whisker endpoints).
- IQR = Q3 − Q1 (compare box lengths).

Give the plot or the five-number summaries and I’ll tell you which statement is true.
