choose 1 answer:

b the box plot

Explanation:

The whiskers of the box plot extend to the minimum and maximum values. A histogram is used to show the frequency distribution of a dataset, and it does not directly display the maximum value in the same way a box plot does. So, a box plot can be used to find the maximum mass.
