Explanation / Answer

Answer A) type 1 error

Which is the incorrect rejection of a true null hypothesis.

Higher the significance level, reduction in the region of acceptance. As a result, you are more likely to reject the null hypothesis. This means you are less likely to accept null hypothesis when it is false i.e less likely to make a type II error
