A consumer protection company is testing a towel rack to see how much force it can hold. The null hypothesis, H0, is that the rack can hold at least 100 pounds of force. The alternative hypothesis, Ha, is that the rack can hold less than 100 pounds of force.

What is a Type I error in this scenario?

a. The researchers cannot conclude that the rack holds at least 100 pounds of force, but the rack actually holds less than 100 pounds.
b. The researchers states that there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the rack holds less than 100 pounds of force, but the rack actually holds more than 100 pounds.
c. The researchers could not conclude that the rack holds less than 100 pounds of force, and the rack actually holds less than 100 pounds.
d. The researchers cannot conclude that the rack holds more than 100 pounds of force, and the rack actually holds more than 100 pounds.
