Answer:

(b) It means that the results that Tessa obtained are too unusual to be explained by chance alone

Explanation:

The test for statistical significance is a comparison of the result to the probability that it occurred by chance. The probability of a chance occurrence is usually set at 1% or 5%. The lower the percentage, the less likely a chance occurrence is, and the more difficult showing statistical significance becomes.
