We cannot determine the correct answer without knowing the actual null and alternative hypotheses. However, we can determine that the correct choice is A since it correctly compares the test statistic (-2.17) to the critical value (-2.33) at a significance level of α = 0.01 and concludes that the null hypothesis is not rejected.
