Answer:

Median

Explanation:

The centers of variation are mean and median. Look at the type of data sets we have to determine which one will best fit the needs here.

Box-and-whisker plots do not provide information about the medians. Instead, the middle line in the boxes are actually the medians. Thus, the answer is median.

Hope this helps!
