The boxplot graph represents the distribution of values across five different groups (A, B, C, D, E). Each boxplot shows the quartiles of the dataset while the whiskers extend to show the rest of the distribution, except for points that are determined to be “outliers” using a method that is a function of the inter-quartile range. Based on the boxplot, which group exhibited the greatest variability in values?
