A is the appropriate null hypothesis as it states a specific value for the population proportion to be tested against. B is incorrect because it refers to the sample proportion, which is not the parameter being tested. C is too broad and does not specify a value to test against. D is not correct as all of the choices cannot be true simultaneously.
