Answer:

D. 75% of the basketball players’ heights are equal to or greater than the median volleyball players’ heights

Step-by-step Explanation:

Based on the box plots given in the diagram attached below, the median height of volleyball players is 79.

Also, from the data set of basketball players, we can approximately infer that the heights from Q2, Q3, and Q4 make up 75% of the data set of the heights of basketball players.

Heights at Q2 in the data set of basketball players starts from 79, which is equal to the median height of volleyball players.

Therefore, from the displays, we can conclude that "75% of the basketball players’ heights are equal to or greater than the median volleyball players’ heights".
