The null hypothesis should is c. not enough information is given to answer this question.

Although some information about the sample are provided, we cannot determine the null hypothesis without additional details. To formulate the null hypothesis, we need to know what we are assuming about the population proportions

Without knowing the specific assumption we want to test, you cannot formulate the null hypothesis. Therefore, the answer is c. not enough information is given to answer this question
