Explanation:

Step1: Recall Box Plot Components

A box plot has: minimum (leftmost point), first quartile (start of box), median (line inside box or middle of box if two parts), maximum (rightmost point).

• Point A: Leftmost, so minimum value.
• Point B: Start of box, so first quartile.
• Point C: Middle of the box (since box is split, this is median).
• Point D: Rightmost, so maximum value.

Step2: Match Each Point

• A ↔ minimum value
• B ↔ first quartile
• C ↔ median
• D ↔ maximum value

Answer:

A - minimum value
B - first quartile
C - median
D - maximum value
