Given the box plot, will the mean or the median provide a better description of the center?

box plot with min at 11, Q1 at 22.5, median at 34.5, Q3 at 32, max at 37.5

The mean, because the data distribution is symmetrical

The mean, because the data distribution is skewed to the left

The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the left

The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the right
