The box plot shows the distribution of the data classified in quartiles.

If we want to know about the mean of the data set, we can only that it will be located within the range of the data set.

It will be closer to the median as the distribution gets less skewed.

By looking at the box plot, we can not confirm that April's mean is higher than October's mean, as the plots are overlapped.

We can not also concluded about the relation between the spread of the data and the relation with the mean.

Then, the most appropiate conclusion from the options is "There is no way of telling what the means are".
