What is the only option for the null hypothesis?
A
H0 = k
B
H0 > k
C
H0 < k
D
H0 ≠ k
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two options for a decision. They are “reject H 0” if the sample information favors the alternative hypothesis or “do not reject H 0” or “decline to reject H 0” if the sample information is insufficient to reject the null hypothesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Results of a Hypothesis Test A strong conclusion; a significant result. Note that we never speak of rejecting the research hypothesis. The reason has to do with the favored status of the null hypothesis as default. Accepting the null hypothesis merely implies that you do not have enough evidence to decide against it.
