The significance level (alpha) is the maximum probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true. In this case, the significance level is 0.05 which means that we can only reject the null hypothesis if the probability of obtaining the test statistic is less than 0.05 assuming the null hypothesis is true. Therefore, option B is the correct statement. Options A, C, and D have incorrect statements about the probability values required for rejecting the null hypothesis.
