A box plot, also known as a box-and-whisker plot, provides a visual summary of the data's distribution, including the median, quartiles, minimum and maximum values, and any outliers. It is particularly useful for comparing multiple distributions side-by-side and identifying skewness or outliers. Other options like histogram, Pareto diagram, and frequency table do not provide the same level of summary and comparison as a box plot. A geographic map may be useful for displaying spatial patterns in the data but does not provide information on distribution characteristics.
