A larger value for the chi-square test statistic indicates a greater discrepancy between the observed and expected frequencies, which would provide evidence against the null hypothesis in a goodness-of-fit test. A chi-square value of 40 is much larger than the other options listed and would be more likely to lead to rejecting the null hypothesis.
