D) p-value < 0

The p-value is compared with the significance level (α) to make a decision about the null hypothesis. If the p-value is greater than α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis, as we do not have enough evidence to prove that the alternative hypothesis is true. Only when the p-value is less than or equal to α, we reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis. Thus, option B is the correct choice.
