Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Type II error occurs when the null hypothesis (H₀) is not rejected, even though it is actually false (H₁). Therefore, the risk of a Type II error is present when the decision is "fail to reject H₀" (option C). The other options do not necessarily indicate the risk of a Type II error.
