Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
In a positively skewed distribution, the tail of the distribution is on the right side, meaning that there are more outliers on the right side of the distribution. Therefore, the distance between Q1 to Q2, which is on the left side of the distribution, is smaller than the distance between Q2 to Q3, which is on the right side of the distribution. Option B correctly states this relationship.
