Answer:

B

Explanation:

Write a five-number summary for each distribution:

Bulldogs:

Min: 55

Q1: 70

Med: 80

Q2: 90

Max: 105

This distribution is symmetric, because Q1-Min=Max-Q2=15 and Med-Q1=Q2-Med=10

Tigers:

Min: 55

Q1: 60

Med: 65

Q2: 85

Max: 110

This distribution is not symmetric, because Q1-Min=15, Max-Q2=25 (15≠25) and Med-Q1=5, Q2-Med=20 (5≠20). This distribution is right-skewed or positively-skewed (has a long right tail)

So, correct option is option B
