Detailed Solution & Explanation

Quartiles are partition values that divide a given set of observations, when arranged in ascending or descending order, into **four equal parts**. The first quartile (Q1\displaystyle Q_1) divides the first 25%\displaystyle 25\% of the data, the second quartile (Q2\displaystyle Q_2, which is the median) divides the data at 50%\displaystyle 50\%, and the third quartile (Q3\displaystyle Q_3) divides the first 75%\displaystyle 75\% of the data. Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
