You have to find the quartiles Q1, Q2 and Q3 and the minimum and maximun values, the box is made with Q1,Q2, and Q3 values and the whiskers with the minimun and maximun values.
Now for Q2 you have to find the median for all of your data = (57+58)/2=57.5
Then get two groups, for Q1 and Q3 find the median of those groups:
Q1=53 and Q3=62
Draw the box with 53, 57.5 and 62, and the whisker are drawn to 44 and 64 (minimum and maximum values).
So the correct answer is "D"
