Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The boxplot for Vineyard C shows a higher median and a smaller spread, indicating that the prices of wines from this vineyard are generally more expensive than those from the other two vineyards. The fact that Vineyard B has one outlier at a high price does not necessarily mean its wines are generally more expensive.
