A box and whisker plot provides a graphical representation of the central tendencies (median), percentiles (quartiles), variability (range or interquartile range), and the shape of frequency distributions. It is an effective way to compare multiple sets of data and identify outliers. The other options (interquartile map, perceptual map, histogram) may provide some of this information, but not as comprehensively as a box and whisker plot.
