(a)
In hypothesis testing the for statistical significance test, the null hypothesis is the statement which states that there is no effect of the treatment or there is no significance difference.
Correct answer: Option C. a statement of ''no effect'' or ''no difference''
(b)
When the level of significance is increased there would be a strong evidence against the null hypothesis because the null hypothesis is rejected in p-value is less than significance level.
Correct answer: Option D. Using a large level of significance.

(c)
The p-value of the hypothesis is likelihood that the test statistic that would take a value at least as extreme as that actually observed assuming that the null hypothesis is true.
Correct answer: Option D. the probability, assuming the null hypothesis is true, that the test statistic will take a value at least as extreme as that actually observed.
