Explanation:

The $n$th percentile of a data - set is the value below which $n$ percent of the data fall. The first quartile ($Q_1$) is the 25th percentile, the median ($Q_2$) is the 50th percentile, and the third quartile ($Q_3$) is the 75th percentile. Since Eileen's score is at the 68th percentile, it is between the median (50th percentile) and the third quartile (75th percentile), and it is closer to the third quartile.

B. Eileen's score is closer to the third quartile than to the median.
