The null hypothesis is the statement that is being tested and represents the status quo. It is not rejected unless there is sample evidence that it is false. The alternative hypothesis is the opposite of the null hypothesis and is only accepted if there is sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, (B) Alternative hypothesis and (D) True hypothesis are incorrect choices. (A) Research hypothesis refers to the hypothesis generated to explain observations and is not necessarily the one being tested.
