IXL - Checkpoint: Line plots, histograms, and box plots (Algebra 1 practice)

A computer science teacher wants to show how many lines of code each of her students wrote for a specific assignment. She thought about using a box plot, but in the end she used a line plot. What is the most likely explanation for her choice?

The line plot clearly shows the mean while the box plot clearly shows the median.

Only the line plot shows the number of lines of code written by each student.

Only the line plot shows the least number of lines.

The box plot does not show the range of the number of lines.
