Answer:

The first box plot.

Explanation:

In a box plot, the lower quartile is the right hand side of the box. In the first plot, this is 3.

The upper quartile is the left hand side of the box. In the first plot, this is 8.

The interquartile range is the difference between these two values:

8-3 = 5.
