Answer:

C. The median for town A, 30°, is less than the median for town B.

Explanation:

A box plot can clearly represent the median as a center of the distribution of a data set.

Thus, the median of a box plot is depicted by the vertical line that divides the rectangular box.

Therefore:

Town A Median temperature = 30°

Town B Median temperature = 40°

The standby that best compares their centers is:

C. "The median for town A, 30°, is less than the median for town B."
