If the null hypothesis for a one-way ANOVA is rejected, it means that the effect of the independent variable is significant. Option A is incorrect as it suggests that the mean value of the dependent variable will be the same for different categories of the independent variable, which is contradictory to rejecting the null hypothesis. Option B is incorrect as it suggests that the independent variable does not have a significant effect on the dependent variable, which contradicts the rejection of the null hypothesis. Option D is incorrect as both options B and C cannot be correct simultaneously.
