Explanation:

A skewed distribution has data clustered more on one side. In a right - skewed distribution, the tail is on the right side and in a left - skewed distribution, the tail is on the left side. Looking at the dot - plots, we check for uneven clustering.

Answer:

D. The dot - plot in option D has more data points on the left side and a long tail extending to the right, indicating a right - skewed distribution.
