The boxplot shows that the distribution is skewed to the right with two outliers. The histogram also has a longer tail on the right side. The summary statistics indicate that the median is lower than the mean, which is a characteristic of a right-skewed distribution. Therefore, the best choice is D, which describes the distribution as unimodal and skewed to the right with an IQR of $715.
