In a positively skewed distribution, the tail of the distribution is on the right side, meaning that there are more outliers on the right side of the distribution. Therefore, the distance between Q₁ to Q₂, which is on the left side of the distribution, is smaller than the distance between Q₂ to Q₃, which is on the right side of the distribution. Option B correctly states this relationship.
