Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The '>' symbol indicates a directional hypothesis, and it would appear in the alternative hypothesis, not the null hypothesis. Therefore, choices A and B can be eliminated. The '>' symbol suggests a one-tailed hypothesis, which is reflected in choice C. Choice D suggests a non-directional alternative hypothesis, which is not accurate.
