Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The stem-and-leaf plot shows a skewed right distribution with a long tail of high outliers. The center is around 111 birds, and the majority of members saw between 102 and 139 birds, with two high outliers at 158 and 178 birds. Therefore, option B accurately describes the distribution.
