Answer 2

see below

Explanation:

First of all, you want to find the data set the matches the extreme values of 5 and 35. That eliminates the 2nd and 4th choices.

Then you want to find the data set that has a median of 15. The first data set has a middle value (median) of 20, so that choice is eliminated.

The data set of the 3rd choice matches the box plot extremes, median, and quartile values.
