Rejecting the null hypothesis with a two-tailed test means that we have evidence to support that there is a significant difference between the means of the two groups being compared. The symbol "≠" in option B indicates that the means are not equal, making it the best choice to side with if the null hypothesis is rejected. The other options either assume equality or do not provide enough information about the direction of the difference.
