A Type I error occurs when the null hypothesis is true but is incorrectly rejected. In statistical diagrams, this is typically represented by the area under the curve of the null hypothesis distribution that falls beyond the critical value, which is the area where we would incorrectly decide in favor of the alternative hypothesis. Without seeing the specific diagram, the general convention is that area "A" represents the region where we would reject the null hypothesis when it is actually true, hence making a Type I error.
