When the statistic falls in the region of rejection, it means that the probability of obtaining that result by chance (p-value) is less than the chosen level of significance (usually 0.05 or 5%). Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis as the result is considered significant enough to indicate that the null hypothesis is not true. The option B is the only one that correctly states this.
