B)The distance from the smallest observation to Q₁ is larger than the distance from Q₃ to the largest observation.

In a left-skewed distribution, the tail of the distribution is longer on the left side, thus the smallest observation will be farther away from the mean than the largest observation. Therefore, the distance from the smallest observation to Q₁ is larger than the distance from Q₃ to the largest observation.
