The boxplot shows the distribution of birthweights for infants with SIRDS who either survived or died. The median birthweight of survivors is higher than that of the non-survivors, suggesting that birthweight is related to survival in cases of SIRDS. The boxplot does not provide information about the number of deaths or survivors, so option A and C are not supported by the data.
