Option a is right

the probability that we would see a test statistic this extreme or more if the null hypothesis were true.

Step-by-step explanation:

In hypothesis testing we fix null and alternate hypothesis. The conclusion of the test depends on the p value of the test.

The p value also known as probability value is the estimated probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true.

It can be said the extreme value i. e. if p value is atleast this much we accept null hypothesis.

Hence out of the options given correct choice is

the probability that we would see a test statistic this extreme or more if the null hypothesis were true.
