Increasing the sample mean difference would increase the distance between the sample mean and the null hypothesis value, making it more likely for the null hypothesis to be rejected. Decreasing the sample size or increasing the sample variance would make it more difficult to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, option A and C are incorrect, and option D is incorrect because option B would increase the likelihood of rejecting the null hypothesis.
