B

Step-by-step explanation:

From the box plots shown above:

The lowest number is 4

The highest number is 15

Therefore, the values in each boxes must lie between {4,15}.

In option A the values in the box include: {13,5,8,8,6,10,15,12,4,13,11}. The values of this data lies between 4 and 15 which makes it correct.

In the second option (B) the values in the boxes include: {2,10,13,7,9,5,15,12,7,13,11}.

The value 2 is not present in the interval, therefore the set of data is wrong.

In option C the values in the box include: {15,13,6,7,10,8,11,13,13,6,4}.

The values of this data lie between the interval of 4 and 15 which makes it correct.

In option D, the values in the box include: {4,13,6,7,15,12,11,10,5,13,9}·

The values of this data lie between the interval of 4 and 15 which makes it correct.
