A P-value of 0.004 is considered statistically significant at a commonly used alpha level of 0.05, indicating that the observed numbers of offspring were unlikely to have occurred due to chance if the null hypothesis (that the expected and observed numbers are the same) is true. Therefore, if the P-value obtained from the chi-square test is less than 0.05, it supports the conclusion that the observed numbers are significantly different from the expected. Choices A, B, D, and E all have P-values that are greater than 0.05, indicating that the observed numbers may have occurred due to chance and do not support the conclusion of a significant difference.
