Answer:

b. A small P-value.

Explanation:

The p-value is used to study the validity of a test. Basically, it tests if the result found is due to a small sample, for example, or that if the result is really statistically significant.

A small pvalue is a strong evidence against the null hypotheses, which indicates statistically significant results.

So the correct answer is:

b. A small P-value.
