Using an F-test when a t-test would have sufficed is generally considered a minor issue compared to the other options. The F-test is used in ANOVA to compare the means of three or more samples, and while it might be seen as overkill when comparing only two samples (where a t-test is appropriate), it's not fundamentally incorrect in its assumptions or application. The other choices involve more significant methodological errors or misapplications of statistical tests.
