Detailed explanation-1: -d) Composite Hypothesis. Explanation: A hypothesis which defines the population distribution is called as Simple hypothesis. It specifies all parameter values.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simple hypotheses are ones which give probabilities to potential observations. The contrast here is with complex hypotheses, also known as models, which are sets of simple hypotheses such that knowing that some member of the set is true (but not which) is insufficient to specify probabilities of data points.

Detailed explanation-3: -Simple hypothesis: Any hypothesis which specifies the population distribution completely. Composite hypothesis: Any hypothesis which does not specify the population distribution completely. Null hypothesis (H0): A simple hypothesis associated with a contradiction to a theory one would like to propose.

Detailed explanation-4: -A hypothesis that, when true, completely specifies the population distribution is called a simple hypothesis; one that does not is called a composite hypothesis.
