Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

When the median is to the left of the center of the distribution with the right line longer than the left, we can conclude that the data is skewed to the right. Here the mean is larger than the median thus skewing the distribution to the right.

Representing this on an histogram including data will show a better description and also indica the longer right line.
