A) compute pairwise comparisons for the main effect
B) compute simple main effect tests for the main effect
C) compute pairwise comparisons for the interaction
D) compute simple main effect tests for the interaction

When a significant interaction is found in an ANOVA, the next appropriate step is typically to compute simple main effect tests for the interaction. This helps to understand how the levels of one factor affect the outcome variable at each level of the other factor, providing a detailed understanding of the interaction.
