The alternative hypothesis should suggest a difference or change from the null hypothesis, which in this case is that the population proportion is equal to 0.65. Option A suggests that the population proportion is less than 0.65, which implies a difference from the null hypothesis. Option B and D only refer to the sample proportion, which does not necessarily represent the population proportion, and option C is simply restating the null hypothesis.
