Without knowing the specific test statistic or level of significance, we cannot determine the exact p-value. However, we can eliminate choices A and E as they are extremely small and large, respectively, and unlikely to represent a typical p-value. We can also eliminate B as it is greater than .05, which suggests that we do not have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. This leaves us with choice C as the most likely option, which is close to .21 and suggests that there is a moderate amount of evidence against the null hypothesis.
