Provide an appropriate response.Here are boxplots of the points scored during the first 10 games of the basketball season for Caroline and Alexandra. Summarize the similarities and differences in their performance so far. 

A. Alexandra has a higher median score. Alexandra has a median score of 20 points per game while Caroline has a median score of 18 points per game. Caroline is more consistent and has a smaller range of scores - her IQR is only about 3 points while Alexandra's IQR is around 16. B. Both girls have a median score of about 18 points per game. Alexandra is much more consistent as her IQR is much larger than Caroline's. Caroline's IQR is only about 3 points while Alexandra's IQR is around 16. C. Both girls have a median score of about 18 points per game. Caroline is much more consistent, the range of her scores is small. Her scores range from 17 to 20. Alexandra has a larger range of scores - her scores range from 10 to 26. D. Both girls have a median score of about 18 points per game. Caroline is much more consistent, the range of her scores is small. Her IQR is only about 3 points and her scores range from 15 to 21. Alexandra has a larger range of scores - her scores range from 8 to 28 and her IQR is around 16
